One Dollar Too Many (Italian: I tre che sconvolsero il West , lit.'The three who shook the West ') is a 1968 Spaghetti Western feature film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring Antonio Sabàto, John Saxon, and Frank Wolff.

Plot summary

Sabàto, Wolff, and Saxon are three different types of con men out to get a bag full of money stolen from a bank.

Cast

Production

Director Enzo G. Castellari described One Dollar Too Many as "a true slapstick with an abundance of stuntment, exaggerated action and three important actors: John Saxon, who I finally got to meet, Frank Wolff and Antonio Sabato. Castellari specifically noted Saxon stating that both had similar tastes such as a love of art and that they both had "attended the Accademeia delle Belle Arti in Rome" where Castellari got his diploma. Saxon made several Westerns during the 1960s.

Castellari stated that the only issue he had with the film was Agata Flori as the female lead, as she was cast by producer Dario Sabatello, her lover at the time.

Release

One Dollar Too Many was first distributed in 1968. It was distributed by Titanus in Italy.
