Releases

One Damned Day at Dawn… Django Meets Sartana! was released in 1970.[2] The film is not an official part of the Sartana series and along with Pasquale Squitieri's Django Defies Sartana, was among two of the unofficial Sartana films released in 1970.[2]

Reception

In a retrospective review, Howard Hughes wrote in his book Cinema Italiana that One Damned Day at Dawn...Django Meets Sartana! was "a plotless meander made on the cheap in familiar Lazio quarries." and stated that "Fidani's westerns, particularly [this film], are notable for their stunt performer's twitching deaths, which more closely resemble electrocution or gymnastics" and finally compared the director to Ed Wood, stating that Fidani's film titles were always more imaginative than the bargain basement films they publicise.[3][4]
