Death Is Sweet from the Soldier of God

Of course he was never the best actor, but somehow the American CINECITTA Divo Brad HARRIS (1933-2017) was often unlucky in the selection of his film productions. With THREE STARS FILM he was supposed to make three spaghetti westerns, two of which were made. He played with the Greek actor Vassili KARIS in WANTED SABATA (1970) and with his Venezuelan colleague Jose TORRES in DURANGO IS COMING, PAY OR DIE! (1971). After these two films, the production company went bankrupt. What now? The clever low-budget film director Roberto MAURI combined scenes from both films into a third film, under the responsibility of the quickly founded production company VIRGINIA. It's somehow understandable that everything doesn't always fit together. But that's not how a good film is made!

Durango (Brad HARRIS) ends up in prison unjustly because he is accused of murder and robbery. He manages to escape through fellow prisoner Spirito Santo (Jose TORRES). Now Durango wants to prove his innocence while Spirito Santo is after the money. At the same time, Durango also wants revenge on Scott (Vassili KARIS), whom he holds responsible for the murder of his family. All of this makes for a bit of plausible back and forth, which isn't made any more entertaining by the numerous fights and shootings.

It's a shame about the missed opportunity! So this film is only recommended for die-hard Brad HARRIS fans or completists when it comes to spaghetti westerns!
