Paolo Gozlino, an Italian actor, made his mark in the late 1960s with roles in films like The Witches (1967) and Django the Bastard (1969). His performances in these cult classics highlight the unique blend of horror and spaghetti western genres that defined the era. Gozlino's work in Vengeance (1968) and The Return of Halleluja (1972) further solidifies his presence in the exploitation film landscape, where his characters often navigate the gritty and surreal. With a career that spans into the late 1970s, including Cindy's Love Games (1979), Gozlino remains a notable figure in the realm of cult cinema.
The Return of Halleluja
Hallelujah (Hilton) is hired by an incompetent Mexican revolutionary (Roberto Camardiel) to recover a lost Aztec idol, with which he will be able to elicit the help of the native tribes in his hapless uprising. However, such a powerful symbol has it’s attractions for a wide range of other individuals, most notably a chubby proto-capitalist who sees it as an opportunity to gain rites of export exclusivity in the gold trade by selling it to a rival commandant. Also along for the ride are kilt-wearing Archie (Lincoln Tate) and his erstwhile partner Fleurette (Agata Flori), who are also out to make a quick dime.
