This film is a ripping off of American westerns. When I say ripping off I don't mean it is a poor film. It has the typical western elements: sheriffs and bandits. The role of the characters is well defined and at the end of the story the good will triumph on bad. Many films-loving people didn't understand why this film hadn't had success in Italy. First of all it was played by unknown actors, at least in Italy. Moreover, westerns were getting to be on the wane from 1965. But the main reason is that Italians were bored about classic westerns ("the stagecoach", "Rio Grande", "Cimarron", "saddle the wind" etc) they preferred action, shootings and a bit of violence. So the film "a fistful of dollars" released a few weeks later was a great success because it started a new era of making westerns as Italians preferred.

This was one of the first westerns to have false names of director and actors so as to make it seem like an American film. Probably it was shot without recording the audio even if many actors spoke English. It was released in Italian and in English both dubbed. Rod Cameron dubbed himself.

BULLETS DON'T ARGUE is an example of the Italian spaghetti western just before Sergio Leone burst onto the scene and changed the genre's look and feel forever. This one has a much brighter, clear-cut feel which brings it in line with the classic Hollywood westerns of the 1950s. The paunchy Rod Cameron - looking a lot like a middle-aged Lon Chaney Jr. - plays Pat Garrett, the sheriff hunting for deadly outlaw Billy the Kid, as played to the hilt by the sinister Horst Frank. The wide-reaching plot takes unexpected turns throughout, with good character development and an exciting piece of spectacle at the climax. I liked it far more than I expected to; with Mario Caiano's brisk, seemingly effortless direction, this is a lot of fun.
