The Return of Ringo
7 May 2023
Ringo, returning from the Civil War where he was presumed to have died to find his house overrun by bandits and his wife engaged to one of the leaders, Paco Fuentes. In an attempt to discover if his wife, Hally, has remained faithful he dyes his hair and takes on the disguise of a mestizo peasant, gradually gaining access to his old home and learning in the process that he has a daughter who is being used by Paco as a hold on Hally in order to make her compliant in his desire to marry her.

Where "A pistol for Ringo" was imaginative and lively, it's sequel, though without the same characters, is more story-laden, has less gun play and is more atmospheric with some emotional strain, especially where it concerns Gemma's character. It's a slow burn, but as it progresses it becomes more engrossing. It's a well made western with some fine suspenseful sequences. Gemma is excellent in his role as is Lorella De Luca ( a hot babe!). The action in the last 25 minutes is of the slam-bang and inventive variety.
