Gianni
Garko is basically the same character as the one he portrays in his SARTANA
series except, this time, he's dressed in white instead of black and has
a dove on his shoulder. It's the familiar Angel-of-Death theme as Garko
plays Spirito Santo [Holy Ghost], the vigilante of the West, rescuing
the oppressed people of a border town from cruel Mexican outlaws. However,
this time, Holy Ghost has an ulterior motive, too. He is fighting for
'law and order' (specifically trying to reinstate benevolent governor
Don Firmino) so that he can take possession of a gold mine that he won
in a poker game.
Director
Carmineo dabbled in other genres (i.e.,RAT
MAN, CASE
OF THE BLOODY IRIS, et al) but he was always best when
helming a Spaghetti Western. He is known for his SARTANA
series and HEADS
YOU DIE ... TAILS I KILL YOUAfter directing 32 movies, Mr Carmineo
retired at age 56 in 1988. Today he lives quietly in his hometown Bari
