Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in just 18 days in Israel's Negev Desert, with the cast sleeping in the abandoned mining town set.
Klick was only 28 when he directed this, and it bombed so hard it took him years to recover—yet it's now considered a key bridge between spaghetti westerns and the German New Wave.
