Here is a diamond in the rough in the renowned Spaghetti Western genre. In this flick we have Burt Reynolds in his second starring role tracking down a gaggle of baddies who wiped out his Indian band.
Sergio Corbucci directed and Ennio Morricone, the Mozart of the spaghet', wrote the score.
Fernando Rey is another face you will recognize rising above the usual scum and dregs starring in this genre.
On cable I saw a story that Burt Reynolds only agreed to make "Navajo Joe" as he was under the impression Sergio Leone would be directing. When he found out it was Sergio Corbucci, it was too late for him to pull out of the film. He would continually joke "wrong Sergio" when talking about the film.
The bad guys wipe out Burt's little tribe as they are scalp hunters who get a dollar a head for every Indian scalp they bring in. The baddies are going to rob a town and Burt agrees to save the day if the townies give him a dollar a head.
Great fun.
