This is an oater Western plenty of action , hatred , gun-play, an agreeable love story...in a word : emotion ; besides it contains effective action sequences as the Indian raids and lots of crossfires . The picture gets Western action , shootouts , Indian attacks , a love story , and results to be entertaining , but mediocre . It's a medium budget film with passable actors , technicians, production values and ordinary results . Of course , there are ritual shootouts among gunslingers confronting each other in some quick-draw duels in the accepted Western movie fashion . This is a so-so Spaghetti/Snitchzel Western with some moments genuinely entertaining if you can avoid thinking too much . Being realized in the wake of ¨Karl May's Winnetou and Old Surehand¨ series , a lot of movies produced in the sixties by the powerful German company ¨Constantin Films¨ , starred by Pierre Brice , Lex Barker , and Stewart Granger . It stars Brad Harris who hare falls in love for the gorgeousLana Miller (Olga Schoberová , in real life married Brad Harris) . Brad began doing stunt work , in the late 50s he traveled to Europe and he soon found himself working in Musclemen epics such as ¨Sansone¨ , ¨Goliath against the giants¨ , ¨Fury of Hércules¨ and he eventually moved into Spaghetti Western and spy movies . Brad Harris married the beautiful co-starring Olga Schoberová . Olga became the Czech sex-symbol because she was the first beauty from Czechoslovakia to appear on Playboy, and made it on the front cover, too . After winning the leading role in The vengeance of She (1968), Paramount renamed her Olinka Berova . She and Brad Harris have one daughter . Olinka played several films along with his husband Brad , such as "Poppea's Hot Nights" , ¨Formula 1¨ , "Kommissar X¨ or ¨Kill me gently¨ and a Western titled ¨Massacre at Marble City¨ . Secondary cast is formed by some familiar faces from Spaghetti Western such as Joseph Egger , Serge Marquand , Pinkas Braun , Lorenzo Robledo and Ennio Girolami or Thomas Moore , the latter ordinary in Enzo G. Castellari films . And Horst Frank , usually playing bad guys , here he plays a good guy . This one belongs an abundant group of German Westerns or co-productions , usually shot in Germany , Spain or Yugoslavia and habitually starred by some faded American actors , such as : ¨Alla Conquista dell'Arkansas or Conquerors of Arkansas¨ by Paul Martin also starred by Brad Harris , Horst Frank ; ¨Sien Nanten Ihn Gringo¨ (65) by Roy Rowland with Alexandra Stewart ; ¨La Lunga Strada Della Vendetta or Der Letzle Ritt Nach Santa Cruz¨ (64) by Rof Olsen with Edmund Purdom ; ¨7 Donne Per Una Strage¨ by Gianfranco Parolini and Rudolf Zehetgruber with Anne Baxter , ¨Sfida a Glory City¨ (65) by Sheldon Reynols with Lex Barker , ¨Last Mohican¨ (1965) by Harald Reinl and ¨Massacre at Condor Pass¨ (1976) by Peter Schamoni with Stephen Boyd .
The picture displays a resounding and inappropriate musical score by Gert Wilden . Colorful Cinematography by Hans Jura , shot in Manzanares Del Real , La Pedriza , Madrid surroundings and Bavaria studios , Munich . The picture was middlingly directed by Ernst Hofbauer (1925-1984) , a craftsman who directed all kind of genres , Eurospies : "The Mystery of Three Junks" , "Women for Sale" , and Krimis : "Tim Frazer Contra Mr. X" , Comedies , an erotic biography about Rasputín and especially ¨Schulmadchen reports¨ movies .
