Funny Spaghetti Western with humor, mirth and amusing, 16 November 2007
6/10
Author: ma-cortes from Santander Spain

This Western comedy deals about the young man, Sir Thomas(Terence Hill),he's a dandy from East who goes to the West following the last wish his deceased father. His mentors are a trio sympathetics crooks, Bull,Holly Joe and Monkey(Gregory Walcott,Harry Carey Jr,Barto). The cocky Thomas carries a bicycle and wearing elegant clothes. The veteran friends teach him the West manners and training him for shooting. Thomas Moore must to fight himself against a nasty enemy named Morton(Ricardo Pizzuti)who is jealous of his girlfriend(Yanti Somer),daughter of a baronland(Enzo Fiermonte).

The film contains action-Western, shootouts, fist-play, humor with tongue in cheek and is pretty bemusing. It's an entertaining film with enjoyable comedy in the wake of Trinity and Bambino. Agreeable casting with a likable Terence Hill( though I miss Bud Spencer)as a naive East young man, Yanti Somer(Trinity is still my name)as a gorgeous girl looking for the dreamt prince riding on a white horse. Furthermore, Harry Carey Jr, as a nice preacher, he's an usual secondary for John Ford films, Gregory Walcott as a tough illiterate and ,of course, Ricardo Pizzuti, Hill's habitual antagonist and whom receive the knocks and kicks. Adequate cinematography and jolly musical score including songs by the habitual Guido and Mauricio De Angelis. This is a co-production French-Italian, mostly produced by Alberto Grimaldi(Pea Productions), famous producer of ¨Dollars trilogy¨ by Sergio Leone. The motion picture is well directed by Enzo Barboni or E. B. Clucher.He was a noted cameramen including classic Spaghetti Western(Djiango,Goobye Texas,Hellbenders), but with the hit of ¨Trinity is my name¨ left it and turned to film-making, and directed the following ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and the third outing ¨Trinity and Bambino, the legend lives on¨, plus another Hill and Spencer vehicles.
