Review of Guns for San Sebastian (1967) by Allan C — 14 May 2015

Quite entertaining and also very earnest spaghetti western about outlaw Anthony Quinn finding shelter from a priest in the small town of San Sebastian. The town, however, is under siege from bandits led by Charles Bronson.

When the priest is killer, the townsfolk mistaken Quinn as a fellow priest who then leads the towns people to rise up against their tormentors. Although the story is a bit of a rehash of "The Magnificent Seven" (which was itself a remake), Quinn gives a a very earnest and soulful performance, which you don't often get in spaghetti western, which typically focused on visuals, violence and quirk.

The heart that Quinn brings to this film sets it apart from many of it's ilk.
