The first and best of the Italian "Mexi-Westerns", on a par with Leone's and with a haunting soundtrack. An American mercenary teams up with a bandit on the fringes of the revolutionaries in order to assinate their leader. A violent political film from the same pen as The Battle Of Algiers.

DUEL IN THE SUN (1946)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Somewhat derisively known as 'Lust In The Dust' this film is shot in beautiful scenery and tells the story of two brothers, Cain and Abel, fighting over a steamy half-breed sexpot while their father broods over his crumbling empire.
