[edit] Plot

The simple plot of this film revolves around Welch, Hannie Caulder, a frontier wife whose husband is murdered by the Clemens Brothers, a trio of rather inept outlaw brothers, played by Borgnine, Martin, and Elam. After a disastrous bank raid, The Clemens Brothers rape her, burn down her house, and leave her for dead.

While the Clemens Brothers go on low-brow crime spree, Welch's character recruits a professional bounty hunter named Thomas Price, played by Culp, to help her seek revenge by training her to use a gun.

Christopher Lee portrays the gunsmith who builds Welch a specialized revolver for her journey ahead. Diana Dors takes on the role of a prostitute in this feature, while Boyd has a brief appearance as a gunfighter known simply as "The Preacher", and Aldo Sambrell, the famous Spanish actor, has cameo as a Mexican soldier.

[edit] Production

Despite being entirely set in the American West the film was a British production and was filmed, as was common at the time, in Spain mostly around Almeira. A number of notable British actors had roles in this film.
