50th Anniversary of the release of “Another Try, Eh Providence?”

 

Today marks the 50^th anniversary of the premier of “Another Try, Eh Providence?” directed bu Alberto De Martino and starring Tomas Milian, Gregg Palmer under the alias Gregg Hunter and Carole André. This sequel to “They Call Me Providence” finds our outlaw duo of Providence (Milian) falling in love with the Countess Pamela DeOrtega (Carole André) and plans on asking her father Count De Ortega (Luciano Catenacci) for her hand in marriage. The problem is she has already been promised to Captain Barton (Manuel Gallardo), who the count owes a very large sum of money to. If Providence wants to win her hand, he must come up with a million dollars. With the help of his servant Chiao (Yu Ming Lun) and his old partner the Hurricane Kid (Palmer) he tries various ways of accumulating the money: a rigged roulette wheel, swindling the inhabitants of a small town with a crooked bank scheme, and a gold heist. Every attempt falls short thanks to the ineptitude of the Hurricane Kid. In the end the count turns out to be a fake and a wanted criminal Chan Ku, an old acquaintance of Providence, and the husband of the Countess.
