A gunslinger, Sabata (Yul Brynner), becomes involved with Mexican rebels, led by Escudo (Ignazio Spalla), who are setting out to steal a wagon filled with gold. Austrian forces, led by Col. Skimmel (Gerard Herter), are trying to smuggle the gold out of Mexico. Sabata plots with the Mexicans and lays siege on the Austrian's fortress, but he has his own plans for the stolen gold, and it does not include sharing with the Mexicans. This spaghetti Western was titled "Indigo Black" until dubbed for American release. A sequel to "Sabata," it was followed by "The Return of Sabata."

The White Warrior 1959 N/R, 86 min. Genre: Foreign / Adventure
Director: Riccardo Freda Cast: Steve Reeves, Giorgia Moll, Renato Baldini, Scilla Gabel, Gerard Herter, Nikola Popovic, Milivoje Zivanovic, Niksa Stefanini, Jovan Gec
Steve Reeves still looks and acts like Hercules, although this poor effort is actually based on a Tolstoy story of the fight against the mean Czar Nicholas I in 19th-century Russia. There is also a terrible dubbed version out there.
