Storyline:
After committing a robbery, Sam is about to be hanged. His brother Dean contacts a Frenchman (former expert in explosives) and his attractive niece (a poker player). The three put on a scheme to make a bank robbery, just in time to disrupt Sam’s hanging, and free him, too. In turn, the four are hired by Felipe, a blind Mexican interested in art painting, namely some paintings that are kept by the military dictator, El Supremo. The task would be difficult already, but it’s worth as the two brothers weren’t fighting each other for whatever reason, and if everybody had not ulterior motives for their acts.
Reviews:
"A heist movie; spaghetti western style. Two brothers, one woman (Rosalba Neri, ooh la la), a blind Mexican and a stuffy Frenchman decide to rob a well guarded safe in the Mexican town of Chihuahua, in this very enjoyable movie directed by Tonino Ricci.
This is actually my fourth Ricci movie and they have all been entertaining and, sadly, criminally underseen.
Great Treasure Hunt has a much smaller scale compared to some of the other spaghetti westerns I have seen, but it works well for the movie. It is also a lot more lighthearted and humorous; I love all the silly banter between our main players.
It’s great fun, so check it out!"
