The Holy Ghost Trilogy
3 films
In Roberto Mauri’s caper-leaning spaghetti-western trilogy, drifter-gunman Spirito Santo (Vassili Karis) is sprung to engineer a gold robbery in And His Name Was Holy Ghost (1971), then hired by Springfield to take down the masked bandit “Solitario,” enlisting Diego d’Asburgo’s ragtag crew in Gunmen and the Holy Ghost (1972). In Return of the Holy Ghost (1972) he’s set on a bullion-fraud scheme led by a faux Army colonel swapping real ingots for fakes, with Santo outwitting crooks and officials in a breezy mix of shootouts, cons, and comic reversals.
