ReceptionIn his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund discusses 'Stranger in Sacramento' among films that mix some characters, motifs and plots well known from American traditional Westerns with others usual in Spaghetti Westerns. For example, Mike Jordan is close to the typical American Western hero, while Chris is more like Joe in A Fistful of Dollars.Fridlund, Bert: 'The Spaghetti Western. A Thematic Analysis'.
