Sugar Colt is a 1966 Italian and Spanish spaghetti Western directed by Franco Giraldi,[1][2][3][4][5] produced by Franco Cittadini and Stenio Fiorentini, written by Sandro Continenza, Augusto Finocchi, Giuseppe Mangione and Fernando Di Leo,[6] composed by Luis Enríquez Bacalov,[7][8] filmed by Alejandro Ulloa[9] and starred by Jack Betts, Joaquín Parra,[10] Soledad Miranda, Georges Rigaud,[11] Antonio Padilla, Giuliano Raffaelli[12] and Hunt Powers.
[17] Rocco – also called the man with two faces – is visited by Pinkerton, who wants him to investigate the disappearance and possible kidnapping of some soldiers.
[1] With his modernist sheet music, Luis Bacalov created the characters of Sugar Colt, Django,[18] I quattro del pater noster, Chapaqua, Lo chiamavano King and The Man Called Noon.
[17] Over 40 years after it was made, Sugar Colt was screened at the 2007 Venice Film Festival in a Spaghetti Western retrospective.
In his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund ranges Sugar Colt among Spaghetti Westerns heavily influenced by secret-agent films, because the hero is shown in company with beautiful women, works to uncover a mystery and - unlike the protagonists in A Fistful of Dollars and Django - does not have any complicating secondary motive.
