This DVD contains two what are called "spaghetti westerns." During the 1960s the western genre was out of favor with Hollywood so many of the actors found themselves out of work. Italy took up the slack.
Done in English, these have the flavor of a very badly dubbed film. Seasoned actor Lee Van Cleef stars in both.The fillm quality is low, but the plots are moderately ok. Murry thought they were interesting examples of the Italian made films. You decide.
The titles on IMDB are in Italian, but I used the library titles.
A thief takes a job as sheriff, makes a plot to rob a shipment of silver. This is a typical bad man with a heart of gold (silver?) story. Lots of "shoot em up' action.

A man just out of prison tracks down the ex partner who betrayed him. The lone survivor of the family murdered by the ex partner teams up with Lee Van Cleef for revenge.
