Dans la poussière du soleil (, ), released in English as Dust in the Sun and Lust in the Sun, is a 1972 Italian-French Spaghetti Western directed by Richard Balducci.
The plot is loosely adapted from William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet.
Plot In the dusty small town of San Angelo, on the border between Mexico and Texas, rancher Joe Bradford tortures his brother to death and forces his wife, Gertie, to marry him. Gertie's son, Hawk, a seemingly simple and slightly autistic boy, looks to set things right. As Hawk learns that Joe only wanted his brother's ranch, all the local girls are chasing after him, especially Maria, the sheriff's daughter, to the sheriff's outrage. Maria's brother, a gunfighter, also joins the fray opposing the now-loving couple, whose families clash in a final, merciless battle.
