Clint The Stranger

Clint The Nevada's Loner (Clint The Stranger)

This film was released in 1968 starring George Martin and Marianne Koch. George Martin was the star of many spaghetti westerns and Marianne Koch is best known as the woman in "A Fistful Of Dollars". The movie was also known as "Clint The Nevada Stranger", "Clint The Loner" and "Clint Il Solitario". It was directed by Alfonso Balcazar (Watch Out Gringo!). Music supplied by Nora Orlandi (Johnny Yuma). The music sounds more like the traditional music used in most hollywood films and is very listenable. Clint Harrison (George Martin) escapes from jail and makes an attempt to return to his family (wife, Marianne Koch, and their young son). Clint left his home and became a gunslinger after killing two men who tormented his family. His son thinks his father is dead and his wife only accepts his return with the promise that he will never use his guns again. Well, after that promise you can write your own script as to what happens. It's pretty predictable after that. However, it is a fine and enjoyable film.


There's A Noose Waiting For You Trinity! (The Return Of Clint The Stranger)

In 1971 George Martin made a sequel of "Clint The Stranger". It was actually a remake as they added a little girl to his family and his son was a little older in this picture. This time his wife was played by Marina Malfatti. George Martin not only starred in the film which was basicly the same as the original, but also directed. This is a much better picture as Klaus Kinski was inserted as a bounty killer on the hunt for Clint and practically steals the show. In addition, the music was propped up by a score by Ennio Morricone. However, not one note was composed by Ennio as they used parts of music from other western films of his principly "The Hellbenders" (I Crudeli). Best I can tell other scores can be heard from films like "Campaneros", "For A Few Dollars More", "Blood And Guns", etc. This is a MUST see spaghetti western film.
