Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

lastliberal Saturday continues with another Spaghetti western with Ernest Borgnine and George Hilton.The story takes place during the Civil War. Hilton got Borgnine's daughter pregnant, and she died delivering. Hilton comes back to marry her, finds, out she's dead, and takes the baby, who dies because no one would defy Don Pedro Sandoval (Borgnine) and give him milk.After the baby dies, he flips and gathers some murderers to get revenge on all who were responsible, particularly Sandoval.Great knife fight between the two of them at the end, and I assure you it wasn't a bullet that did him in.Good action throughout.

Michael_Elliott Bullet for Sandoval, A (1969) *** (out of 4)Interesting Spaghetti Western takes place during the Civil War when a soldier (George Hilton) gets word that his pregnant girlfriend is dying. By the time he reaches the house she has died and her jealous father (Ernest Borgnine) makes him leave with their newborn son. Without the resources to take care of the child, it dies and soon the soldier sets out for revenge. This film has a great revenge story going for it but by the time it ended I was pretty mad at the movie because it could have been so much better. The film has several subplots and none of them are as interesting as the revenge story so these subplots get in the way and in the end they really pull the film back some. The film's main story is still good enough to make this worth watching as it features some great action sequences as well as two good performances by the leads. Hilton is very good in his mainly silent role and Borgnine delivers a maniac style performance. The ending is very strange and bizarre but it works well with the film even though the revenge takes a few different turns.

steeplejack17 This movie is in my top 20 list of the best spaghetti westerns. Ernest Borgnine was great for his only contribution towards the genre as Don Sandoval who blames the death of his daughter(Rosa) at the hands of John Warner (George Hilton) who wanted to marry Rosa but was not allowed due to the jealousy of Don Sandoval. Rosa dies giving birth to there child a boy who dies due to Sandoval's rage and jealousy and as well as the towns people's lack of help due the child being from a town having cholera. This last act makes warner turn outlaw punishing everyone who did not help. It is a great little story of revenge and hate that makes one of Hilton's best spaghetti roles ever. The ending is one of my favorites. A real comparison to the ending of "The Wild Bunch". The music was good and the acting and character profiles of the Warner gang was fabulous.

Space_Lord Now people who know me will tell you I'm into westerns. Spaghetti or otherwise. So when I found this DVD for less than $10, I thought I had stumbled across a bit of a bargain. Fulci co-directing a western? Bring it on!!! But after viewing I felt somewhat... indifferent. On one hand the film exudes atmosphere and does a great job building towards a climax. On the other hand you have an anti climactic ending where the bandit Warner leaves his enemy Sandoval (Borgnine) at the mercy of a rampaging bull rather than finishing him off himself like a real man.That's why I was disappointed! Sandoval didn't get the bullet promised in the title, he got a bull!!! But I guess "It's a bull for Sandoval" just doesn't sound right!
