A Noose Is Waiting for You Trinity

When his brother is killed in cold blood on his wedding night, "Trinity" (George Martin) leaves his own wife and children to track down and kill the man responsible. After establishing a reputation for being a deadly gunman, he then returns several years later to his family--only to discover that neither his wife "Norma Harrison" (Marina Malfatti) nor his son "Jimmy Harrison" (Augusto Pescarini) want him back in their lives. However, he eventually works out a deal with his wife to be allowed to work on the farm and sleep in the barn with the solemn promise not to pick up a gun ever again. Unfortunately, there is a price on his head and a notorious bounty hunter named "Scott" (Klaus Kinski) wants to collect it. Complicating matters even more are some hooligans in town who want to take over all of the nearby ranches and are only too willing to resort to murder and blackmail to get what they want. Now rather than reveal any more of the story and risk spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this turned out to a pretty good "Spaghetti Western". I especially liked the performance of George Martin and the way the internal conflicts were displayed. In any case I rate this film as above average and recommend it to those who might enjoy a movie of this type.

Passable Tortilla/Spaghetti Western co-produced between Balcázar Producciones Cinematográficas and Doria . The film packs father-son relationship , violence , thrills , crossfire and turns out to be decent .

The bounty hunter Scott tracks Trinity down and forces him to return to his violent ways in order to protect himself and his family . Meanwhile , Trinity attempts to be accepted by his family that he abandoned years earlier .

¨ Il Ritorno Di Clint Il Solitario " stunningly starred by George Martin who goes back as Clint , an ex-gunslinger desperately wanting to be forgiven his previous crimes and misdemeanours . It is an exciting Chorizo or Tortilla western that contains a story full of violence , good dramatic pace and slick direction . This sequel to the popular spaghetti western "Clint the Stranger" was released four years after the success of the first film and essentially uses the same screenplay . Agreeable Butifarra-Spaghetti Western mostly produced by Spain and Italian secondary participation ; it follows the Sergio Leone wake , including close-up , zooms , choreographic duels and no being proceeded in American style . All in all, this film is predominantly a Spanish film rather than an Italian one. It's a two country co-production but is clearly dominated by the Spanish contingent and the traditional leanings of the Spanish producers of the time have their stamp on the entire proceedings . The Spanish westerns of this era were far more likely to try and emulate their American source material than cultivate a distinctive style of their own the way the Italians were doing but their product, though here is developed in violent Spaghetti wake . The film packs action , shootouts , drama , high body-count and it's fast moving , being quite entertaining and approaching increasingly Leone Italian style , but keeping some details that make it special in this particular genre . It's a thrilling western with spectacular scenes and breathtaking confrontation among protagonist George Martin and heartless enemies as Daniel Martin . It's a middle-budget film with good actors , technicians, production values and pleasing results . Charismatic performance for whole casting . The notorious Spaghetti actor , George or Jorge Martin is good in his usual tough role , here as Trinity , an ex-gunslinger desperately wanting to be forgiven and unfortunately for him , a ruthless bounty hunter is on his trail. Jorge worked much for Alfonso Balcazar's factory such as ¨Clint the strange¨, ¨The return the Clint¨, ¨Oeste Nevada Joe¨, Thompson 1880¨ , ¨Taste of killing¨, ¨A pistol for Ringo and this ¨The return of Ringo¨ . Nice acting by always great Klaus Kinski who gives his ordinary twisted acting . One major differences in the plot when compared to the first film is the addition of Klaus Kinski as a ruthless bounty hunter . Kinski performed a lot of Spaghettis as A as Z style . In the film appears familiar faces from Tortilla or Spaghetti Western such as Daniel Martin , Gaspar 'Indio' González , Marina Malfatti , Manuel Muñiz Pajarito , Mara Krupp and Luis Induni . Evocative cinematography by Jaume De Casas , but a correct remastering being necessary . Being mostly filmed in a Western village located in ¨Splugues De Llobregat¨ , it resulted to be the location where were shot lots of Western produced and directed by Catalan people as Alfonso Balcazar , J.J. Balcazar , Jose Antonio De La Loma , Juan Bosch, Ignacio F. Iquino , Jose Maria Zabalza and Julio Buchs , among others , because Almeria was too far and the landscapes bear remarkable resemblance . There are many fine technicians and nice assistant direction and excellent production design by the usual Juan Albert Soler , he creates a good scenario . Very enjoyable musical score by maestro Ennio Morricone , including catching leitmotif .

¨Ël Retorno De Clint El Solitario¨ or ¨"A Noose Is Waiting for You Trinity" or "The Return of Clint the Stranger" or "There's a Noose Waiting for You Trinity!" was professionally directed by Alfonso Balcazar , though with no originality ; he managed to make a fluid and passable SW , though sometimes mediocre . Alfonso alongside his brothers Juan Jose Balcazar and Francisco Balcázar produced and directed a lot of Chorizo or Butifarra Western , most of them starred by Jorge Martin or George Martin , Luis Davila , Daniel Martin or Robert Woods ; such as 1972 The return of Clint , 1972 Judas... ¡Toma Monedas! , 1968 Sartana no Perdone or Sonora , 1967 With Death on Your Back, 1966 Dinamita Jim , 1965 Doc , Manos De Plata , 1965 Viva Carrancho , 1965 Five Thousand Dollars on One Ace . Rating : 5'5/10 . Average though some moments acceptable . If you like traditional Spaghetti westerns remains watchable .

Alfonso Balcázar's "Il Ritorno Di Clint Il Solitario" aka. "The Return Of Clint The Stranger" is a Spaghetti Western that is mediocre at best, with a storyline that is normally found in American 'Good Guys vs. Bad Guys' Westerns. The movie is, however, saved by two geniuses: Klaus Kinski, who once again delivers a great performance in an excellent role (the only great role in this, otherwise below average film), and Ennio Morricone who delivers the score. The score is far from one of Morricone's strokes of genius, basically one of the scores where you know Morricone just did them for the money and didn't invest too much time, but it is still capable of partially saving the movie and making it a lot better. This movie's highlight, however, is the bounty hunter character played by the brilliant Kinski, who is basically the only typical Spaghetti Western character in this.

The main character of Clint, played by George Martin, is basically a typical 'good guy' who wants to return to family life after five years of fleeing the law. Five years after killing his brother's murderer, Clint comes back to his hometown, which he finds terrorized by a gang of unscrupulous criminals who want to steal the land from poor local farmers. Furthermore, a mysterious bounty hunter named Scott (Kinski) has been following Clint for the reward on his head.

This movie's storyline is not too original, and the performances are not too impressive either. George Martin may fit in his role, and his leading performance is not necessarily bad, but he is not very charismatic, and his character is far away from the antihero characters my fellow Spaghetti Western fans love. Klaus Kinski's character, on the other hand, is the only true Spaghetti Western character in this, and what a Spaghetti Western character he is. Seeing Kinski play a cynical, long-haired, cigar-smoking bounty hunter in a poncho is a true highlight of this movie, and probably the only aspect which really makes "The Return Of Clint The Stranger" worth watching. This particular role, however, is such a great aspect, that I recommend it for every fan of Spaghetti Westerns, even if just for this role and nothing else.

All in all, "Il Ritorno Di Clint Il Solitario" is a Spaghetti Western that would be rather unsatisfying, if it wasn't for Morricone's score and, mainly, for the great Klaus Kinski and the great role he plays. Therefore it is certainly worth watching. 5/10

a very moving film, strongly influenced by Shane. the hero (played by George Martin) returns to his family 6 years after avenging his brother's murder. he agrees to put down his guns and become a rancher. meanwhile, some baddies (very bad) threaten his family and the local ranchers. Klaus Kinski, as a bounty hunter stalks the hero to claim a $5,000 reward. great performances and a powerful ending. a beautiful Morricone score. apparently, only available in DVD in a Best Entertainment German Pal 0 release (it played on my DVD player).

This is the sequel to "Clint el solitario" (1967), again with George Martin and done by director Alfonso Balcázar (who also uses the synonym "George Martin" sometimes).

It's a mediocre italo-western with a typical american family-western storyline: Clint who killed the murderer of his brother in the first movie and therefore was imprisoned escapes from there and wants to get back to his family. His wife and the 2 children had to flee from their home and live on a farm in Texas now. She accepts Clint as a helping hand on the farm just if he lays down his weapons and swears off violence. But soon unscrupulous gangsters want to force them to sell their land and farm. And a headhunter is coming for Clint. So, here it goes...

If you don't like children as important characters of a movie because it often makes them childish, stay away. The acting is second stage professional, nothing special, everything mediocre... But this is more the american style of western, mainly because of the storyline. I can't stand heroes of a Western who don't have a gun on their belly all the time (better: out of their belly). And here you have this family- and farm-crap most of the time. And the wife demanding "No Violence! - or you cannot stay!" - Phhaaa!

Of course it's a trashy italo-version of it with a cheap and dirty setting, really evil and disgusting baddies, some bloody senseless killing and some good punch-fights. And there are some cool blood-red flashbacks to the first part. AND - YOU - HAVE: KLAUS KINSKI - of course he is great, the 100% uncaring headhunter, an invidious mien, but always above everything, long blond hair, smoking cigar permanently - cool as always! In this movie his character has quite a leading role. And I bought this DVD - which was released as "Ein Einsamer kehrt zurück" in Germany - because I love Italo-Western and Klaus Kinski. So it was o.k.! The atmosphere as you could expect it from an Italo-Western is nothing special, most of what you can describe as atmosphere is done by Klaus Kinski. Everything's mediocre - except Klaus Kinski of course!

I was wondering no one commented this movie as it has Klaus Kinski in a leading role and Ennio Morricone did the music.
