Johnny Yuma

Johnny Yuma (1967) is a spaghetti western starring Mark Damon, Rosalba Neri, and Lawrence Dobkin. In this western film, conniving wife (Neri) has her husband murdered and finds herself butting heads with his heir Johnny Yuma (Damon). The woman then enlists the assistance of her ex-lover (Dobkin) to kill him. When she tries to double-cross the ex-lover, he and the heir team up and kill her bodyguards. The lover is killed but just before he dies, he sabotages her water supply. She flees across the desert but is found the next day having died of thirst. Johnny Cash made a song called "The Rebel - Johnny Yuma" for the TV show. It is considered one of the best theme songs ever - one of the few that was commercially successful on its own.
