I'M RINGO by Jose Luis Nacci. Documentary film. 1h and 50 minutes, Spanish w/English subtitles. ARGENTINA. USA.
Argentine Boxer, Oscar Natalio Bonavena, popularly known as Ringo, was murdered at the gate of a brothel in Nevada, Reno, in the USA in 1976. Ringo, who had fought with Muhammad Ali, had never lost hope of having the chance of revenge with the American boxer. It`s still unknown how Bonavena was murdered; however, it`s well- known that he was killed by a security guard called Brymer who had been probably sent by Joe Conforte, the owner of the brothel. Apparently, the enmity with the Argentine boxer was due to his relationship with Sally, the mafioso`s wife. The documentary covers all the mysteries related to Bonavena`s death.Director Biography - José Luis Nacci
