The Return of Ringo
Once again billed as Montgomery Wood, Giuliano Gemma plays a civil war soldier who returns to his family land to find his family decimated, his property taken over by a family of Mexican bandits and his fiancee about to marry the Mexican gangster behind all this. Bent on revenge, he goes undercover disguised as a Mexican and discovers he has a daughter!
Curator's Take
“A darker, more mythological follow-up to 'A Pistol for Ringo'. This is The Odyssey with six-shooters. Ringo returns from war to find his home occupied and his wife stolen. It’s dramatic, emotional, and visually stunning.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A dark, psychological sequel that retells 'The Odyssey'. Ringo returns from war to find his family held hostage, forced to go undercover in his own home. It is emotionally heavier and more suspenseful than the first film.
