This film begins with a young man named "Ramon" (George Eastman) leaving his home to pay off a loan issued by a local moneylender by the name of "John Barrett" (Daniele Vargas). Unfortunately, on the way there he is beaten and robbed by four masked men and as a result he has to plead with Mr. Barrett for more time. What he doesn't know is that the four men who ambushed him just happen to work for Mr. Barrett and even though it was his partner named "Bart" (Gianni Medici) who ordered the robbery, he has no concern for Ramon's plight and even orders him to be whipped for daring to accuse his men of a crime. Meanwhile, Bart decides to burn Ramon's house down and kills Ramon's father in the process. Needless to say, this action fills Ramon with rage and in his attempt to get even he is shot by one of Mr. Barrett's cowhands-who had initially intended to kill a stranger named "Django" (Dragomir Bojanic-Gidra) instead. Fortunately, Django's quickly shoots the man and feeling somewhat indebted to Ramon takes him to his house to tend to his wounds. It's during this time that Django teaches Ramon the skills required to be a successful gunman if he is going to go up against Mr. Barrett and his henchmen. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off reasonably well but suffered somewhat from a rather weak ending. On a different note I should also mention that this film was not initially intended to feature the character known as Django but-due to increased public interest in films associated with him-the name was changed during the dubbing from Italian to English. This is also true for several other films of this nature as well. Be that as it may, this was an okay movie for the most part and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

The Art of Gunfighting
Solidly entertaining spaghetti western
Fairly standard fare spaghetti western featuring a revenge theme, a highly skilled bounty hunter, a nefarious local businessman and innocent cannon-fodder. Irrespective of all this, it remains a pretty solidly entertaining entry in the sub-genre with a very young George Eastman in one of his early western roles when he got to play the good guy, before he would go on to become famous playing psychopaths and cannibals. It also seems quite obvious that the bounty hunter was not actually called Django in the original version but merely given this moniker in the dubbed version, in order to rope in punters who thought they were getting another flick featuring that infamous Italian anti-hero.
