Pistola per Ringo, Una/Opinions
The first of two Ringo movies was one of the most successful Italian westerns made in the trail of Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars. It tells a similar story of a passer by who intervenes in a conflict, but director Tessari’s approach is more light-hearted and unlike Eastwood’s Man without a Name, Ringo is a clean-shaven and well-dressed hero. He’s above all a very good-looking man (Angel Face), but in true spaghetti western style, he’s lethal with the gun; his motto is “God created all men equal, the Colt made them different”. The film made a star out of former stuntman Giuliano Gemma and also meant a lot for Spanish actor Fernando Sancho, one of the most prolific Spanish actors of all time. - Scherpschutter
