BLOOD FOR A SILVER DOLLAR 1965 (SHOUT FACTORY/TIMELESS)

Well made spaghetti western.

Giuliano Gemma stars as a confederate soldier who returns from the war and is hire to kill an infamous outlaw...which turns out to be his brother. After he kills his brother by accident he is shot and presumed dead by the people that hired him.

He is nursed back to health and seeks revenge on those that had him kill his brother and left him for dead. This is a very moody and haunting western which would fit in with the best of American westerns. Gemma is always good and this is no exception.

The opening theme is also a haunting one that isn't easily forgotten by film fans. Lots of gunplay and violence as is usual for this kind of film and if you're fan of spaghetti westerns you won't be disappointed.
