50th Anniversary of the premier of “Drummer of Vengeance”

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of “Drummer of Vengeance”. Directed by Robert Paget (Mario Gariazzo) and starring Ty Hardin, Rosanno Brazzi, Craig Hill and Gordon Mitchell. The film tells the tale of a Civil War soldier (Ty Hardin) who switched sides and finds his Indian wife and son murdered when he returns home. The stranger, a little toy drummer, and his six-shooter go on a trail of vengeance against the six murderers. Using the disguise of a bible spouting preacher, he roams the town finding clues and links to the killers. When he locates a killer, he winds up the toy drummer and then faces them in a gundown. He’s aided by a sympathetic sheriff (Rossano Brazzi) who it ends up was the leader of the gang.
