あらすじ:
ドク・レスターに殺されたと思われる父の死後、ローレンス・ホワイトはオーウェル・ロックに戻る。ローレンスは村で妹ジェーンを見つけ、父の仇を討つよう促すが、ローレンスは躊躇し、彼の危惧がレスター一家とその仲間であるウォーレン判事の疑念を取り除く。ハリー・ボイドというガンマンもオーウェル・ロックに到着し、レスター家に雇われる。一方、町では不可解な事件が起こり始め、ホワイト殺害に関わった人々が次々と死体で発見される。そしてローレンスに疑惑の目が向けられ、レスター家はボイドにローレンスの逮捕を託す。ボイドは逮捕に成功するが、レスター夫妻は2人の若者が実は共謀して行動していることに気づかざるを得なくなる。実際、ボイドの正体はホワイトの息子であり、ローレンスのふりをしている男はジェーンの恋人にほかならない。レスター一家に不利な証拠をすべて集めたローレンスはウォーレン判事のもとを訪れ、父を殺した犯人に対する裁判を再開するよう説得するが、2人の勇敢な若者に対する待ち伏せが用意され、その間にレスターの手下は全員殺されてしまう。ドクだけが生き残り、ローレンスに直談判され、裁きのためにウォーレン判事に引き渡される。

音楽:

映画公開当時、スコアは一音も発表されず、GDMミュージックが初めてオリジナル・サウンドトラック全曲をCD化したのは2007年のことだった。このタイトルは長年市場から消えていたので、音質が改善されたこの再発は世界中のマカロニ・ウェスタン・ファンを喜ばせるでしょう。
ノーラ・オルランディとロビー・ポイトヴァンが作曲したオーケストラ・スコアは、トランペット、オーケストラ、合唱のためのノスタルジックな風味を持つリズミカルな冒険的テーマ 「Titoli di testa」(Tr.1)で始まる。中心的な音楽モチーフは、聖歌隊の伴奏で繰り返される愛のテーマ(Tr.2,4,15)であり、ハーモニカ(Tr.8)が加わり、ラウールが歌うバージョン(Tr.21)もある。サスペンスとミステリーの音楽(Tr.3,5,7,10,18,19,20)により、物語全体のドラマチックな側面が強調されている。オルガンやギターによる宗教色の強いクラシック曲(Tr.12,14,17)、ラテンアメリカの民族音楽(Tr.13,16)、スクエアダンス(Tr.9)。ノラ・オルランディは、古代のバラード(Tr.6)を無言のヴォーカルで再演している(Tr.11)。合計56分30秒のこのCDは、オリジナル・セッションのモノラル・マスターに加え、1967年に日の目を見ることのなかったレコードのために考案されたと思われる、別のマスターで発見された6曲の貴重なステレオ・ボーナス・トラックを収録しています。

Beat Records is relaunching on the market the classic Western OST by Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin for the film La morte non conta i dollari (aka Death at Owell Rock), directed in 1967 by Riccardo Freda (under the pseudonym George Lincoln), with a screenplay by Giuseppe Masini and Riccardo Freda, photography by Gabor Pogany, editing by Anna Amidei, music by Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin, produced by Enrico Cogliati Dezza for Cinecidi, distributed by Warner Bros., and starring Mark Damon, Stephen Forsyth, Luciana Gilli, Pamela Tudor, Luciano Pigozzi, Nello Pazzafini, Ignazio Spalla , Hardy Reichelt, Mariella Palmich, Lidia Biondi, Aldo Cecconi, Alessandro Gottlieb, Renato Chiantoni, Spartaco Conversi, Dino Strano, Francesco Tensi, and Maurizio Tocchi.

Plot:
Lawrence White returns to Owell Rock long after the death of his father, who was apparently killed by Doc Lester. In the village, Lawrence finds his sister Jane, who urges him to avenge their father's death, but Lawrence is hesitant, and his apprehension removes any doubt on the part of the Lester family and their associate, Judge Warren. A gunslinger named Harry Boyd also arrives at Owell Rock and is hired by the Lesters. Meanwhile, mysterious events start happening in the town, and one by one, people who were involved in White's murder are found dead. Suspicion then falls on Lawrence, and the Lesters entrust Boyd with the task of capturing him. Boyd succeeds, but the Lesters are forced to realize that the two young people are actually acting in concert. In fact, Boyd is really White's son, while the man pretending to be Lawrence is none other than Jane's boyfriend. Having collected all the evidence against the Lesters, Lawrence goes to Judge Warren and convinces him to reopen the trial against his father's murderers, but they prepare an ambush for the two brave young men during which all of Lester's men are killed. Only Doc survives and is personally confronted by Lawrence, who hands him over to Judge Warren for justice.

The music:
At the time of the film's release, not a single note from the score was released, and it wasn't until 2007 that GDM Music issued the complete original soundtrack on CD for the very first time. The title has been absent from the market for many years, so this reissue with improved sound will make all Spaghetti Western fans around the world happy. Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin composed an orchestral score introduced by the “Titoli di testa” (Tr.1), a rhythmic adventurous theme with a nostalgic flavor for trumpet, orchestra and choir. The central musical motif is a recurring love theme with choir accompaniment (Tr.2,4,15), with the addition of the harmonica (Tr.8) as well as a version sung by Raoul (Tr.21). The entire dramatic side of the story is underlined by music of suspense and mystery (Tr.3,5,7,10,18,19,20). Classical pieces with a religious flavor are performed on organ and guitar (Tr.12,14,17), plus there is some Latin American folk music (Tr.13,16) and a square dance (Tr.9). Nora Orlandi performs an evocative ancient ballad (Tr.6) that is reprised with wordless vocals (Tr.11). This CD of ours with a total duration of 56:30 comes from the mono masters of the original sessions, plus six rare stereo bonus tracks that were found on another master, perhaps conceived for a record that never saw the light of day in 1967.
