Storyline:  It is set in the Far West with plenty of gunfighters who take law on their own hands , which cause diverse problems At the beginning there are brief historical remarks dealing with the actual story of the wild west , such as the Way goes West , as the purchase of farms that occupy land through which the new railroad is going to cause confrontations, as well as disputes among cattlemen, settlers , and sheepmen and appearance of the expeditive hangings judges There lives a marriage of farmers , Juan Sanchez Aldo Sanbrell and Maria Sanchez Candida Lopez , Aldos real wife and their child During a stormy day , Juan falls on the sea , strongly injured is hooked in a table while the tide is up and little by little drowning himself , then his wife asking for help a cutthroat Michael Rivers , a pistolero Ling and a drunk , but all of them reject her requests Along the way a known outlaw , the most wanted man Sidney Ling rewarded for a large sum of money , is wanted alive or dead by ruthless bounty hunters This gunslinger shoots contenders , gringos , Indians Joaquin Gomez and he assaults Maria Sanchez Al Oeste de Rio Grande is just a pretty bad Paella Western due to low budget and its director is a sort of Spanish Ed Wood , similarly to Demofilo Fidani , deemed to be the Spaghetti Western Ed Wood It is a Spanish made western that came to the big screen when the top time of the genre was falling down In fact , seventies and eighties are not the best time to find out good spaghettiChorizo westerns Thats why it is an inferior Tortilla Western, blending the ordinary American wake and Chorizo style , being filled with noisy action , go riding , fights and duels Its a Spanish realization , this is not the usual SpanishItalian co production of the 60s and 70s in which were clearly dominated by the Italian contingent and the traditional leanings of the Spanish producers of the time have their stamp on the entire proceedings But this one is badly made with some brief exciting moments , it drags a lot , balancing in ups and downs turning out to be a below average There is also some violent scenes as a tough judge hanging a condemned gunfighter onto a hearse which is pulled by horses and are pulling him across rough ground This is one out of five Westerns Zabalza made along with 20 00 dollars Por Un Cadaver also titled Twenty Thousand Dollars for Every Corpse , Las Malditas Pistolas De Dallas, Los Rebeldes De Arizona , Plomo Sobre Dallas , most of them starred by similar actors , such as Miguel De La Riva or Michael Rivers, Aldo Sambrell , Dyanik Zurakowska , Carlos Quiney , Claudia Gravy , Luis Induni , Guillermo Mendez , Jose Marco and Jose Truchado The movie contains typical particularities SpaghettiTortilla , as it is full of zooms , fury , sadism , bloodbaths , and close ups of grime encrusted faces It does not follow utterly the typical paths of the European western wave around seventies , it lacks both the sarcasm and the Eastwood type of antihero Here appear customary main and secondary actors from SpaghettiTortilla or Paella Western that give lousy interpretations such as Aldo Sambrell , Joaquin Gomez and Michael Rivers as Trenchcoated Outlaw Worn out and faded cinematography accompanied by inappropriate buildings and homes from Castillian villages Shot on location in Aldea Del Fresno , Sesena , Villamanta and Colmenar Viejo , Madrid Anti climatic , inappropriate musical score by Ana Satrove , Zabalzas ordinary The motion picture was ridiculously directed by Jose Maria Zabalza , this director born in city of Irun sometimes signs his films under the alternate pseudonym Joseph Trader or Harry Freeman with some movies never shown to any audience He dedicated his life to the cinema but whose filmography is almost unedited and unseen Jose Maria Zabalza , director who is remembered for his foray into the series Waldemar Daninsky with Paul Naschys La Furia Del Hombre Lobo 1972 As La furia del Hombre Lobo was directed by Zabalza in a hurry Original director Enrique Eguilez was fired and replaced by Jose Maria Zabalza, a drunk who was infamously intoxicated throughout the production Naschy wrote his self biography and stated Zabalza was often unable to work though he did find time to instruct his 14 year old nephew to make some alterations to the script and Naschy ended up writing and directing much of the film uncredited Zabalza did rally enough to clip some action scenes from one of Naschys previous movies, Mark of the Wolfman The scenes were fortunately good enough to use twice even if the costumes were different, and helped pad out the runtime after Zabalza refused to get out of bed to finish the movie Post production was a nightmare Nobody knew who was doing the editing, the money ran out, the master print disappeared for a while, and then at a pre release screening for a film distributor the executive arrived to find Zabalza urinating into the gutter in front of the theater He was too drunk to find the restroom but at least he made it to the curb However , Zabalza made a good film titled Entierro De Un Funcionario en Primavera, starring Tony Leblanc , here Zabalza proved to be a talented director , making a comedy full of black humor that Luis Garcia Berlanga described as the precursor film of Spanish black comedy , and considered to be an ironic satire about the funerals He directed all kinds of genres as Mobster movie El Regreso De Al Capone , Homicidios En Chicago Bullfighting Un Torero Para La Historia Drama Camerino Sin Biombo and Comedies Un Divorcio Al La Andaluza, De La Troya Al Palmar After personal problems to get worse , increasing shortfalls , as he neglected the technical aspects and , in fact , he attempted to film in just 24 hours his last picture ,El Retorno De Los vampiros , until his early death at 57
