FernandoSancho would be best known for his role as a Mexican bandit in those Spaghetti Westerns in the 1960s.
Rarely, Sancho was allowed to play a good guy, one such role being a police inspector in Armando de Ossorio’s “Demon Witch Child”, the plot involving a little girl possessed by a dead witch, with for the time, impressive special effects.
Sancho also had a massive appetite for food, making his Mexican bandito characters and some of his psychos an inside joke, where he was playing himself.
Tras su primera película, Orosia (1944), a FernandoSancho se le conoció sobre todo por sus innumerables papeles en Spaghetti Western, algunas dirigidas por Ignacio F. Iquino y protagonizadas por Richard Harrison.
Sancho también actuó en tres películas realizadas sobre obras de Karl May: La caravana de esclavos (Die Sklavenkarawane) (1958) y El león de Babilonia (Der Löwe von Babylon) (1959), las dos veces como profesor Ignaz Pfotenhauer, y en 1965 en En el reino del león de plata (Im Reiche des silbernen Löwen) como Padischah.
SEVEN DOLLARS TO KILL - Anthony Steffen, Fernando Sancho(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
A group of bandits led by Sancho (FernandoSancho) raid a small farm and kill everyone except for a small boy, Jerry, who, in a rare moment of sympathy, they decide to take with them.
In an attempt to throw off the authorities the banditos divide it between themselves and disband, before returning to their hideout in the mountains.
In the meantime, Jerry (Jerry Wilson) has grown into a right hooligan, and believes that Sancho is his true father.
It is gradually revealed that the figure is the devil himself, and Dawson ends up accused of the series of killings.
Ravishingly photographed by Fernando Arribas in the style of medieval prints, the film plays as a serial nightmare which the protagonist cannot wake up from.
Unlike a Fisher film there is no dynamic battle between good and evil, the world and history belong to the devil and he is the victor who laughs in our faces and rides triumphantly away to his next adventure.
