Duccio Tessari, who co-wrote A Fistful of Dollars alongside the legendary Sergio Leone, capitalized on that film’s success by getting Ennio Morricone to compose his next project as well, A Pistol for Ringo, and I’m happy to say it’s an absolute blast of a time. I wasn’t expecting such an intricate story here, compared to A Fistful of Dollars it’s a lot more in-depth and with plenty of twist and turns it was more than enough to keep me entertained. No matter how many of these spaghetti westerns I watch it seems each one has a surprise for me, something about it completely unique from any of the others I’ve watched and it makes for a great time. Giuliano Gemma was great as the eponymous Ringo, I’m gonna need to see more of his work going forward because he’s a perfect lead cast for this genre. Every time I hear an Ennio Morricone score I think it could be his best one, even in one of his lesser watched films like this, what he did here could and would be one of a lot of other composers’ best works. This is also a seriously impressive amount of story to fit in less than 100 minutes and it honestly never felt overstuffed to me, there were some rough and weird edits here and there but I thought it was paced well for the most part. With every one of these I watch I somehow fall deeper in love with the genre, this is a great example of how it doesn’t even have to be anything generational or mind-blowing, it’ll still gives me so much to appreciate and that makes for a really great watch experience

“Hold on! I’m not a horse!”
“And I’m not a doctor, so that makes us even.”

Wildly camp and humorous for a shoot-heavy spaghetti western. Giuliano steals the show of course but there’s great bits all around- I am also a huge fan of the boot-knife-ascot guy, who’s name is David?
