In the Valley of Death (1968)

You all know about spaghetti westerns, but did you know that there are sauerkraut westerns too?  Germans apparently are intrigued by the romance of the Old West and this was the ninth and final film based on the writings of Karl May and filmed in what was Yugoslavia.  It stars an aging Lex Barker, long after his Hollywood glory days, as Old Shatterhand, accompanied by his trusty brave, Winnetou, played by a French actor (Pierre Brice).  What a combination!  So was it any good?  Not really, despite throwing in an attack by bees, a flogging, an escape through a valley crawling with snakes, and some comic relief in  the form of a botanist looking for a plant to be named after him. But it was certainly something different.
