Hanging for Django is a 1969 Spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Garrone and starring Anthony Steffen and William Berger. The movie is set in the United States during the latter half of the 19th century and follows the story of Django, a former bounty hunter who returns to his hometown to find that everything has changed. The opening scene of the movie shows Django (Anthony Steffen) tracking down and capturing a criminal who has a $5,000 bounty on his head. Django then makes his way back to the city where he is confronted by a group of men who attempt to steal his money. After a tense standoff, Django is able to outsmart the men and make his way to the local saloon.
Once inside the saloon, Django is confronted by the owner, who recognizes him from his past. It is revealed that Django's father was lynched by a group of men years earlier, and that the owner of the saloon was one of the people responsible. Django is angry and wants revenge, but is convinced by a local priest to forgive and move on.
Django then meets up with an old friend named Jeff (William Berger), who is now a sheriff in the local town. Jeff is struggling to keep law and order in the area, as a group of bandits have recently taken over and are terrorizing the local population. Django agrees to help Jeff and together they set out to stop the bandits.
As they track down the bandits, Django and Jeff encounter a wide variety of characters, including a group of prostitutes who are being forced to work in a local brothel, and a group of Native Americans who are being unfairly persecuted. Along the way, Django begins to develop feelings for a woman named Maria (Marta Reves), who is also being held captive by the bandits.
The final showdown between Django, Jeff, and the bandits is intense and action-packed, with plenty of shootouts and explosions. In the end, Django is able to save the day and restore order to the town. The movie ends on a somewhat bittersweet note, as Django is forced to leave Maria behind and continue on his journey alone.
Overall, Hanging for Django is a solid Spaghetti Western film that delivers plenty of action and adventure. Anthony Steffen gives a strong performance as the titular character, and William Berger is equally impressive as the sheriff. The cinematography is excellent, with plenty of sweeping landscapes and dramatic close-ups. Fans of the genre will definitely enjoy this movie.
