About Death Played the Flute
Barton's family is massacred by outlaws. Vowing revenge, he sets out to hunt down the killers. Along the way he meets a mysterious, flute-playing gunslinger who claims to know the identity of the killers and agrees to help bring them to justice. But he has a secret of his own.
Directed by Angelo Pannacciò, Death Played the Flute leans on a strong ensemble — Steven Tedd, Susanna Levi, Michael Forest — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1972.
