ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
In FORGOTTEN PISTOLERO, Mann plays a loner whose childhood friend (Peter Martell) finds him decades after a faithful servant has spirited him away during the assassination of his wealthy father and all of his father's staff, leaving only his sister (Filar Velasquez ) and his duplicitous mother (Lucianna Paluzzi). Together Mann and Martell fight the gang that has taken over Mann's father's estate and together they seek to avenge his father's killers in a neat revenge tale with a slam-bang ending.
The superb direction of FORGOTTEN PISTOLERO is by Ferdinando Baldi, who went on to make four films with Tony Anthony, three of them Westerns including the remarkable BLINDMAN. He is also the co-author of the screenplay. The film's atmosphere owes much to the brilliant score by Roberto Pregadio. The support cast includes genre regular Piero Lulli (TASTE OF KILLING, THE DIRTY OUTLAWS) as a sadistic villain. |
