Sol Sangriento (1974)

Sol Sangriento (1974, SPA/FRA) C-86m. ** D: Alfredo S. Brell (=Aldo Sambrell). Starring Christopher Mitchum, Claudine Auger, Michel Bouquet, Albert Minsky, Aldo Sambrell, Luis Induni. Odd mixture of adventure, romance and western about guitar-wielding stranger (Mitchum), who signs up to work at a coppermine and falls in love (unconvincingly) with the sleazy owner's wife (Auger). Some awkwardly directed scenes (Sambrell is better-known for countless spaghetti western roles), poorly scripted, with some expected exploitation thrown in, but watchable. Truly 70s. Based on the novel La Dynamite Est Bonne à Boire by Frédéric Dard. English titles: DYNAMITE IS GOOD TO DRINK, POWDERBURN, BLOODY SUN.
