From Arrow Video comes the newly-restored 2k release of director Duccio Tessari's original Ringo films on Blu-ray
In A Pistol For Ringo, the eponymous hero, played by Giuliano Gemma, infiltrates a ranch of Mexican bandits to save a beautiful hostage. In The Return Of Ringo, the gunslinger, now a veteran of war disguises himself as a Mexican in order to take revenge on outlaws who have stolen his property and taken his wife.
Hugely successful upon their original release, thanks in part to the skilled direction of Duccio Tessari (The Bloodstained Butterfly), the Ringo films proved influential on the Italian western, spawning numerous unofficial sequels, due to their gripping set-pieces and unforgettable musical scoring by Ennio Morricone, and also introduced another iconic hero to the spaghetti western genre; a clean-cut sharp shooter who was markedly different to Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name.
