Today marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of “Ci risiamo, vero Provvidenza?” (Another Try, Eh Providence?” directed by Alberto Martino and starring Tomas Milian, Gregg Palmer and Carole André. It’s a sequel to “La vita, a volte, è molto dura, vero Provvidenza? “(They Call Me Providence) with Milian and Palmer reprising their same roles. This time Providence (Milian) falls in love with the Countess Pamela DeOrtega (Carole André) and plans on asking her father for her hand in marriage. The problem is she has already been promised a military captain, 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 and his old partner the Hurricane Kid 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.
The film brought in 1,068,676 lire and ranks 46 on the
