Day of Violence (Italian: I giorni della violenza) is a 1967 Italian western film directed by Al Bradley, written by Mario Amendola, Antonio Boccaci, Gian Luigi Buzzi and Paolo Lombardo, and starring Peter Lee Lawrence, Rosalba Neri, Andrea Bosic and Harold Bradley.[1][2][3]
During the Civil War in Missouri, a young man named Johs Lee witnesses his brother and sister-in-law's murder, carried out by Northern captain Clifford and his accomplice Hank Stone. Clifford, driven by jealousy, kills his rival, while Stone murders his lover for rejecting him. To seek vengeance, Lee abandons his wife Christine and his stepfather's ranch to join Southern rebels. Meanwhile, Christine, influenced by her father's grief and Clifford's outlaw status, marries Clifford to keep their ranch. Enraged, Lee kidnaps Christine, his former wife, and flees, pursued by Clifford, his men, and Stone, planning his revenge.
