Irrestible speghetti western albeit poor quality
This movie has all the trappings of a classic western tale enthusiasts have come to expect: gambling in saloons, dancing women, dusty country-weathered men, gun fights and riding off into the sunset. The traveling circus element was great comic relief and I laughed out loud at the scene of 3 or 4 little clowns swinging bats to take down a giant villain! I think folks are judging it to harshly based on the quality of the DVD. I admit, in the beginning the aspect ratio is squeezed together to fit TVs and the picture looks elongated, this is annoying. Then this technique is switched to just chopping of the sides of the wide screen original. Regardless of quality issues, I soon became engrossed in the story and couldn't help but enjoy movie overall.
