Returning home town Ross Logan, a man of high fashion who wears a jaguar skin poncho, immediately gets into a conflict with the Carranza gang, which had just crossed the Mexican border and is occupying a nearby hacienda. After Logan’s brother is killed he plans a cold blooded revenge for which he separates the gang's most dangerous members by using their individual weak points and the general discordance amongst them. The time for the final confrontation is set by the astronomically interested Logan amidst a solar eclipse.

DUELO AO ECLIPSE
Thanks Antonio, I always appreciate your giving me the Portuguese titles.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be a jaguar pelt? The jaguar was a symbol of courage and strength to Central and South American cultures and had particular signifigance to the Aztecs and the Mayans. I think there my be more to the poncho than fashion, though you never know in a Spaghetti Western.
ReplyDeleteSartana you are probably correct in theory but I would say the poncho was actually made from a leopard skin either real or fake, but I'll change it for authenticity.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize the runtime was 100m. The version I have must be cut to under 90m.
ReplyDeleteRun time on western channel is 96 minutes.
