God's Gun (1975)

An Italian Israeli spaghetti western directed by Gianfranco Parolini, starring Lee Van Cleef and Leif Garrett.
An orphaned boy is looked after by a priest. He thinks that his parents are dead. The priest has a gun behind the altar of their church which does not belong to him. When the priest is killed, the boy seeks out the owner of the gun and reveals his true history.
This diamond in the rough is what I'm talking about! The style is very much a classic western, with good camera-work and a fitting soundtrack. The plot and characters were interesting and plots for each character were developed as to how they fit together in the main plot. The costumes were awesome and made me want to dress like a cowboy. The sets were great because they looked old, lived in and dirty/dusty like the old west is supposed to be. The only criticism that I have for this film is that the barroom brawl/dry-hump scene was too long. I'm rating this good because it's exactly the quality of film that I want to watch more frequently.
