Production

The film is a Spanish-Italian co-production by Corona Film and Dorica. [1] It was shot between Esplugues de Llobregat and Fraga. [2] [3] Ennio Morricone served as music supervisor. [3]

Reception

A contemporary Corriere della Sera review described the film as conventional, as it "goes through all the obligatory stages of the Italian western, without any truly original ideas". [4] Thomas Weisser noted that Gentleman Jo is "the kind of role Anthony Steffen was born to play; he doesn't have to say much, he just squints and shoots". [1]
