As spaghetti western comedies go, TRINITY & CARAMBOLA isn't too bad. It's an open copy of the popular Terence Hill/Bud Spencer outings of the era, with Antonio Cantafora and Paul Smith masquerading as the likable twosome. They play down-on-their-luck outlaws who end up in a ghost town, where they steal a valuable weapon which makes their fortunes, but various ne'er-do-wells plan to take them out. Directed by the great Ferdinando Baldi, this movie has a fine pace and lots of effort put into the various fight and action scenes. Unfortunately, like most Italian comedies, it's very low brow and goofy, which may be off-putting to some. The actors grimace and gurn their way through the proceedings and the sight gags are superficial; my favourite is the pool game with the stop-motion effects.
