SEVEN DEVILS ON HORSEBACK 1971 (LOVING THE CLASSICS)

Another well made western from Italy.

The story is very simple. A young woman withdraws all of her fortune and decides to leave town after the crime rate in town goes sky high because of the Cooper gang.

The woman is hunted down, raped and killed and her money stolen. Her brother Jeff McNeal (Dino Strano) seeks revenge on Cooper (Gordon Mitchell).

There are a lot of gunfights in this movie and the action scenes are very well done. Mitchell is a great bad guy, but for me the standout of the film was Femi Benussi as Rosie, the barmaid girlfriend of McNeal.

Benussi looks fantastic as always, but her role is a bit different. If you see this film and are familiar with her work, then you'll know what I mean when I say this.

Director Gianni Crea handles a fine cast that also includes Mario Brega, Guiseppe Mattei, Jack Logan, Mirella Rossi. Rik Battaglia and Lina Franchi.

A highly recommended Spaghetti western for fans of the genre.
