A cowboy( Anthony Steffen)seeks for years the evil bandit (Fernando Sancho) who murdered his wife and kidnapped her newborn son. When he finally manages to find him, he attains the vengeance he has longed for and ends with him, but his son will be against him as the bandit raises the child as his own son, ensuring that the final showdown has the added angst ridden element of father facing son.
Seven Dollars on the Red boasts a competent cast and a memorable soundtrack, and though a little unremarkable and slightly muddled its strong plot helps overcome this. Steffen is very good in the lead, and so is a dead-eyed Roberto Miali and a radiant Elisa Montes - they play the stolen son and his doomed love interest. It presents a hand-to-hand fight in the barn which is an eye opener, and it ends with a rain soaked showdown with father vs son. The last twenty minutes are quite tense and emotional. Not a bad spaghetti western.
