Gold, guns and a
double-helping of “spaghetti” — Spaghetti
Westerns, that is — awaits collectors on Mar. 5. That’s what Mill Creek Entertainment has in
store for fans with the priced-to-collect Blu-ray double feature (with Digital
Copy) of Fort Yuma Gold (aka: For a Few Extra Dollars) and Damned
Hot Day of Fire (aka: Gatling Gun).
Fort Yuma Gold — filmed in glorious Technicolor — stars Spaghetti
Western stalwart Montgomery Wood (aka: Giuliano Gemma) as a former Confederate
soldier, who is now working undercover for the government. It seems that a rebel officer, Major Sanders
(Jacques Sernas) continues to fight the war and plague frontier outposts with
his outlaw raiders … his target this time is the gold at Fort Yuma.
The real mission, a
deadly mission at that, is to uncover the Union officer who is working with
Sanders and feeding him information about troop movements and gold
shipments. Complicating matters for our
hero are the charms of saloon “girl,” the alluring Connie Breastfull (played by
Sophie Daumier).
Teamed with Fort
Yuma Gold is writer/director Paolo Bianchini’s Technicolor presentation
of Damned
Hot Day of Fire (aka: Gatling Gun), which finds Tarpas
(John Ireland) kidnapping the famed Richard Gatling (Ennio Balbo), the inventor
of the Gatling Gun, with plans to turn him and his plans for the weapon over to
the Confederate Army. Dispatched to
stop him is disgraced Captain Chris Tanner (Robert Woods), whose mission is to
find Tarpas and his hostage and stop him in his tracks … at all costs!
