Review
Garringo is an undeservingly lesser-known effort by spaghetti-western director Rafael Romero Marchent. Anthony Steffen stars as a rogue army lieutenant tracking Johnny (Peter Lee Lawrence), the crazed son of a soldier killed as a traitor, when he was a child. Johnny has a split personality and murders soldiers and leaves their lapels on his fathers grave. When he's not killing soldiers he's a complete gentleman. Johnny was raised by the now sheriif of Bell City, who is confronted with loyalty to his stepson or his duty. There's plenty of familiar faces here and nice score to help the movie along.
