Giunse Ringo e ... fu tempo di massacro is in German-speaking retarded without performance spaghetti westerns of Mario Pinzauti . The film, which was released in 1970 but was partially shot in 1966, stars Jean Louis and Mickey Hargitay in the leading roles.

action

Marshal Slim Farrel arrives, pretending to be a gunslinger Ringo, a town on the Mexican-American border to investigate his brother's disappearance. Soon he is hired by the rich landowner Don Juan. Slim discovers that a number of poisonings have taken place, including his brother Mike. His research soon revealed the perpetrators of the crimes in two women - don Juan's daughter Pilar and her mentally ill mother. Then Slim rides away again.

criticism

"Technically at a very modest level, the film offers a mixture of western and horror elements," wrote Segnalazioni Cinematografiche . JJ Depuich compared the “volatile course of action” with a twelve-part serial from 1915.

Remarks

Mickey Hargitay , who plays the missing brother, can only be seen in the first 20 minutes of the film, although he was supposed to play a much larger role. While filming he received the news that his son had been attacked by a lion in an amusement park in the USA and left the filming. The book of the film was rewritten and a new main character invented with Jean Louis as his brother. Since there had already been problems with the producer (which can be seen in the missing scenes with actress Aïché Nana ), he was allowed to go looking for relatives.
