The original duo of RINGO films introduced another iconic hero to the spaghetti western: a clean-cut sharp shooter markedly different to Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name. Hugely successful upon their original release, the RINGO films proved influential on the Italian western, spawning numerous unofficial sequels, due to their gripping set-pieces and their unforgettable Morricone scores.
In A PISTOL FOR RINGO, the eponymous hero played by Giuliano Gemma (TENEBRAE, DAY OF ANGER) infiltrates a ranch of Mexican bandits to save a beautiful hostage.
