Return of Sabata (È tornato Sabata... hai chiuso un'altra volta)

Return of Sabata is a 1971 Italian spaghetti Western, a co-production of Italy, France and West Germany. The third and last film of the Sabata trilogy, it brings back Lee Van Cleef, who had played the title role in the first film before a scheduling conflict handed it to Yul Brynner in Adiós, Sabata. It opened in Turkey in December 1972.

Sabata (Van Cleef), a master marksman and former Confederate officer, rides into a small Texas town in the 1870s with a travelling circus. There he meets his old lieutenant (Reiner Schöne), who owes him money. While trying to collect, he spots the shady dealings of an Irish family that rules the town and decides to stay. The cast also includes Giampiero Albertini, Gianni Rizzo and Alberto Dell'Acqua; Aldo Canti, who plays the acrobat, also appeared in the 1979 film Süpermenler.

Director Gianfranco Parolini also edited the film and co-wrote the script with Renato Izzo. Parolini used the pseudonym Frank Kramer on the English-dubbed version. Marcello Giombini composed the score. With its striking camera angles and outlandish gun designs, the film carries the genre's trademark flourishes, and it appears in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.
