God's Gun (1976)

 'God's Gun' is an Israeli produced spaghetti western credited to director Frank Kramer (real name Gianfranco Parolini). Lee Van Cleef is a priest who founded a prosperious little Catholic community near the Mexican boarder in the latter half of the 1800's. He has the courage to stand up to Jack Palance and the Clayton Gang but is ultimelty gunned down for his trouble. Alter boy Leif Garrett manages to track down the padra's identical twin gunslinger brother. As the Batman says "criminals are a superstitious sort", so you know where this is going, though I do wish they had played it up more.

Still it's perfectly serviceable and short. Richard Boone plays one of those sheriff's who won't really do his job until the tide has turned on the bad guys. Sybil Danning plays Garrett's mother. **
