Carmineo directed this sequel to his own Lo Chiamavano Spirito
Santo (1970) under the pseudonym "Anthony Ascott."
Gianni Garko returns as the Holy Ghost, a supernatural gunfighter
dressed in white and with a dove sitting on his shoulder. With
his sidekick, the Preacher (Victor Israel), the Holy Ghost rescues
some farmers from the fortified prison of the evil Gen. Ruiz
(Paolo Gozlino) then raids the castle again for gold treasure
aided by some local prostitutes. Pilar Velazquez,Jorge Rigaud,
Piero Lulli and Massimo Serato are among the familiar faces
in the cast, and Bruno Nicolai's odd musical score is a fine
accompaniment to such scenes as the Ghost's dove torturing a
man for information by pecking at birdseed on his chest. The
series continued with Vassili Karis as the Ghost in Roberto
Mauri's ...E Lo Chiamavano Spirito Santo (1972) and its 1973
sequel Spirito Santo e le Cinque Magnifiche Canaglie.
