Without Lee Van Cleef, the Spaghetti Western would be a holster without a gun, and certainly a lower caliber-from Colonel Mortimer to Angel Eyes to Sabata who would Return, then say Adios. Here, our glaring hero with the fatal smile witnesses a bank robbery only to discover it was masterminded by some highly respectable townsfolk. These upstanding citizens, especially the sadistic rancher Stengel (Franco Russel), make the mistake of dispatching a bevy of imported desperadoes to snuff Sabata, including a former foe Banjo (William Berger) whose concealed “banjo gun” was later lifted by El Mariachi. Viva Sabata, viva another great Van Cleef hanger.
