Two men who faced many guns together...now face each other......!

Quick Answer

Programmer's Pick
This is a Spaghetti Western with a difference: Manitoba’s the backdrop, but the duels and drama are pure genre tradition. Lex Barker and Pierre Brice give you double the gunfighter for your trouble, and the town of Glory lives up to its name—if gunfights and saloon showdowns are your idea of a good time.
