646f9e108c Wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he didn&#39;t commit, Minnesota Clay seeks revenge on the man who withheld evidence at his trial. There is a problem however, he is going blind. Quick draw Cameron Mitchell escapes a federal hard labor camp and returns to his old stomping ground to find the man who could have exonerated him of murder charges, where he reconnects with his estranged daughter, and tangles with two rival gangs, all while contending with his own failing eyesight.<br/><br/>The second western directed by Italian favorite Sergio Corbucci, this isn&#39;tgoodsome of his later work. Still, it&#39;s a solid western that&#39;s handsomely produced and a lot of fun to watch, with some good gun-play and a memorable title character, effectively portrayed by Mitchell.<br/><br/>The climax where Minnesota Clay battles the heavies using only his sense of hearing is quite entertaining. I am reviewing Minnesota Clay,it&#39;s my eighth spaghetti western review in the new series.<br/><br/>Minnesota Clay is one of the very first spaghetti westerns,being released at the time of Sergio Leones dollars trilogy.This is ironic since it uses the same locationsA fistful of dollars (notice the town) and the plot is nearly the same(two rival outlaw gangs fighting each other and a lone gunslinger in the middle of it all),but this is a very entertaining cowboy picture that never fails to disappoint.<br/><br/>The photography is brilliantly done and the shots of horses running and roaming around the country side are excellent,such shots makes this 1960s spaghetti western fell like a 1950s American B western,but that&#39;s a good thing.<br/><br/>The acting is good and Cameron Mitchell is excellent at playing Clay,the character of Clay is similar to Clint Eastwoods man with no name and Mitchell plays Clay with brutal bitterness which is nearly the samehow Clint Eastwood plays in the dollars trilogy.<br/><br/>There&#39;s a decent amount of action including a large shootout at a ranch which showcases a lot of kills from the main characters and there&#39;s a brilliant duel at the end in which Clay takes down the bad guys.<br/><br/>The story does drag a little bit and the ending is quite abrupt,but still very good.I highly recommend this to any western fan,if you can ever get your hands on it,then do.<br/><br/>Keep checking my account for more spaghetti western reviews.
