A Texas Ranger, Johnny ‘Texas; Brennan, is asked to investigate an old rancher named Prescott, accused of robbing a post office. The arrival of "Texas" in the village of Oakland City puts Mr. Martin, owner of the ranch bordering that of Prescott into turmoil. Martin fears the presence of "Texas" and shows this openly. Because of his gunfighting ability, the ranger is able to escape the attacks of Martin’s henchmen. Gladys, Martin’s daughter, tells "Texas" that between her father and Prescott, there has been a long-standing rivalry over the use of the river that runs through the two properties. Continuing his investigation, "Texas" tracks down Jerome, who had participated in the post office robbery. He confesses that Martin had concocted the robbery and put the blame on Prescott. Now exposed. Martin seeks to flee, but "Texas" brings him to justice along with his accomplices.
[The film was started in 1966 under the direction of Mario Gariazzo for Abrorea Film but shelved for financial reasons. The film was completed in 1969 under the direction of Leopoldo Savona for Società Ambrosiana Cinematografica.] 
Italian title is slightly misspelled - it's "pistola", not "pistoli".
ReplyDeleteMy English language version has on-screen title "God Will Forgive My Gun".
Entertaining spaghetti with very catchy theme song. Wayde Preston had a good luck with films he made in Italy. Even though often low budget, I think they all turned out quite well.
Corrections noted and made. Gracias Smjango. With this cast I'm surprised this film was not a bigger production.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there, Tom. I too don't know why it wasn't a bigger production since Wayde Preston was an even bigger success in Italy. He had just recovered from his failure in the show "Colt .45" and was doing great for himself. He should have gotten more recognition for this film but alas he did not. Oh well. Can't win them all.
