50 years ago “Cjamango” premiered in Rome, Italy. Cjamango
has won a sack of gold in a poker game from a Mexican bandit. His winnings are
soon taken when he is attacked by the gangs of El Tigre and Don Pablo. He is
injured but nursed back to health by Perla and her brother Little Manuel.
Meanwhile Don Pablo and El Tigre fight amongst themselves over the stolen gold.
When Cjamango is well enough to ride he tracks them down and tries to pit one
gang against the other. To complicate matters a black-clad whisky seller named
Clinton becomes part of the battle. In the end a final shootout settles the
matter and the whisky salesman turns out to be a Pinkerton detective.
The film was a big hit and led to a sequel and spawned
several clones.
