When I started the bluray I was quite pleased to discover that this was going to be a Santo western. I'm only about 4 Santo films into my discovery of his film career but it hadn't occurred to me before that we might see him in a time before the 50's and 60's. I found this one to be a bit like the exploitation V.D. scare films of the decades prior to when this was made in 1970. They made a movie wrapped around an educational piece on leprosy.The characters were talking to each other but it was aimed at the viewing audience, educating us on the disease. Several times it was iterated by characters that leprosy victims were not the enemy, they weren't bad just because they had the disease and were not to be harmed. The movie was very sermon like at times and the message was to have compassion for the victims of the disease. One thing that annoyed me was how much Santo got his ass handed to him in his fights. They were highly repetitive and basically Santo just outlasted his opponent. He certainly did not dominate any of the matches. Those fights dragged on for too long. I watched the Indicator blu and it's just gorgeous. The colours and details really come alive and sometimes not always for the better. You could see the glued down edges of the leprosy scars and once in a while see the latex appliances lifting off of the actors skin. I did see a funny gaff as well. In the cave the camera pulls back from an actor and to the left you can see a second camera on a tripod peeking out behind a piece of set. The bluray package came with a second version of the movie that has softcore sex! What the hell? Full frontal of the women, a peek at some penis and even a shaved beaver lol. These were not scenes inserted by an opportunistic distributor either. Weird and completely out of place for a Santo movie.
