The only 'official' sequel to Tessari's very popular A Pistol For Ringo, also starring Giuliano Gemma, this film is a loose re-telling of the ancient Greek story of The Odyssey. Gemma, as Montgomery Brown, plays the Odysseus / Ulysses role, returning from the Civil War where he was presumed to have died to find his house overrun by bandits and his wife engaged to one of the leaders, Paco Fuentes, played by the always devilish George Martin. In an attempt to discover if his wife, Hally, has remained faithful he dyes his hair and takes on the disguise of a mestizo peasant, gradually gaining access to his old home and learning in the process that he has a daughter who is being used by Paco as a hold on Hally in order to make her compliant in his desrire to marry her.
In the second film, the narrative follows a man named Captain Montgomery Brown/Ringo (as mentioned above, played by Giuliano Gemma) who returns home after the Civil War to discover that his land has been overrun by Mexican bandits (Fernando Sancho, George Martin). Initially, he infiltrates the gang to restore order and determine if his wife has been faithful to him, but he soon discovers that she has been chosen as the bride-to-be by the leader of the troupe against her will. But he also, to his great delight, discovers that he has a daughter with her. Bent on revenge and intent on saving his family, Montgomery Brown disguises himself and takes on the vicious ring.
History Highlight:
Today in 1968, Ringo Starr rejoined the Beatles after quitting the band for two weeks. Upon his return to the studio, Ringo found his drum kit covered in flowers to welcome him back. As he recalled in Anthology:
A family in Ardmore is hoping for the safe return of a pet parakeet that went missing over a month ago. Hope was renewed in their search for Ringo after someone reported seeing it flying at a local park.
Ringo Starr and Neil Aspinall decided to return to England from Greece on this day. They had been in the country to look at possible islands to purchase for The Beatles, their family and friends to live and work on.

If you do not return the containers, you will not get your deposit back, but you will now have reusable food containers that you can use again and again. From this autumn, there will be no disposable food containers at the canteens on the Mustamäe campus of TalTech, either, so you will have to use either reusable or personal ones.
The current tour is hitting the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 15 and returns to Southern California during the fall leg of the run to perform at Toyota Arena in Ontario on Sunday, Sept. 17.
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!
Ostensibly a sequel to A Pistol for Ringo, but it's really just the same actors doing a rough spaghetti western adaptation of The Odyssey. Ringo returns home from the Civil War (not where he went), finds his wife being courted by another man (he wasn't married), discovers the town overrun by crime (which he had eliminated), with the alcoholic sheriff powerless to do anything (he was fine before).
Like For a Few Dollars More, it is a follow up with an expanded scope and not a sequel only while Leone goes for more elaborate drama, Tessari goes all-in the full operatic tragedy the genre serves well. Morricone score does double duty covering whatever dramatic limitations Tessari might have. Gemma is great as usual with the physical action, but he also plays haunted. The film is set is post-Civil War, but it is really The Odyssey for a devasted Europe that Tessari like all filmmakers from his generation knows well. There's no home to return to just more violence and an occupied existence, the happy ending feels like a mirage taken over by far too many fissures. The movie is barely able to contain all its emotions which as usual part of the fun. Great cast overall.
Giulianno Gemma (billed as Montgomery Wood) plays Montgomery Brown, aka Ringo, a captain who returns to the U.S. border town of Membros at the end of the Civil War to learn that gold has been discovered nearby.
