Production

Bullet in the Flesh's screenplay and story were created by Gino De Santis^[1] De Santis' story differed from other European Western's released between 1964 and 1966 which usually depicted cavalry heroes and Indian villains with author Kevin Grant stated that they "showed little interest in Native Americans as people."^[3] Grant stated that De Santis's story was a rare exception from the period where it was sympathetic towards the Cherokee tribe whose woodland idyll is under threat from a bigoted white logging family.^[3]

Release

Bullet in the Flesh was first distributed in 1964.^[2]^[4] It was distributed by Panta Cinematografica in Italy.^[1]
