Movies 4 You: Spaghetti Westerns



Three Ringos and a Gringo
TIMELESS MEDIA 4-movie packs are a fair deal. I own several and find the transfer quality quite satisfactory. There's no subtitles or other extras here, just four English-dubbed rather obscure Euro westerns.

If AMMY's Product Detail for running time is accurate, these films are complete dubs.

The first two Ringo pictures had the same main cast and writer/director: Duccio Tessari. He did some scripting on Sergio Leone's A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (Italy/Spain/W.Germany-1964). Star Guilano Gemma was billed on both Ringos as Montgomery Wood. Gemma was working as a stuntman when director Tessari gave him the co-starring role in his swords & sandals film, MY SON, THE HERO (Italy/France-1962).

Parenthetical numbers preceding titles are 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll ratings.

(6.5) A Pistol for Ringo (Spain/Italy-1965) - Giuliano Gemma/Fernando Sancho/Lorella De Luca/Nieves Navarro/Antonio...

Four Good Westerns
Nice packaging of four spaghetti westerns. Two star Giuliano Gemma in his seminal role as Ringo. Those movies made him a star in the genre and led to a host of imitations using the name Ringo in the title. One of the is here starring another spaghetti veteran, Anthony Steffen.

Not a bad buy if one is a fan of the genre as I am.
