The Forgotten Pistolero (Italian: Il pistolero dell'Ave Maria, lit. "The Gunman of Hail Mary"), also known as Gunman of Ave Maria, is a 1969 Italian Spaghetti Western film co-written and directed by Ferdinando Baldi. The film is a western adaptation of the Greek myth of Orestes, subject of three famous drama-plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.[1][2] Ulrich P. Bruckner puts it among the "most interesting and most touching Spaghetti Westerns of the late sixties".[3]

When he returns home from war the Mexican general Juan Carrasco is killed by the lover of his wife Anna. The victim's children run away with their nanny but fifteen years later they come back for revenge. Anna and Tomas want to have them killed but their henchmen fail them.
