The Stranger Returns (1967)


MGM
Directed by Luigi Vanzi
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Tony Tony wanders into another dusty western town, this time finding bandits collaborating with a corrupt town official to steal a gold shipment. He gets out of a tricky situation at the beginning of the film and borrows the identity of a dead postal official to infiltrate the gang. He gets beat up and dragged behind a coach, but escapes. With the help of a slightly deranged preacher, he tracks down the gang for revenge, and the gold, which is hidden in plain sight. Just as entertaining as the first film, with Tony's easy-going persona and slight touches of humor offsetting the frequent violence on display. Another outstanding soundtrack from Stelvio Cipriani.
