Paulo Monteiro This is a cinematographic masterpiece for all western lovers. It is a stylish, cool, fresh, funny and intelligent Spaghetti Western. Where to start? The first couple of minutes of the movie, are very much a typical Italian entrance! The cool laid back entrance, a sleepy Trinity is being dragged in a travois by his horse, with Alessandro Alessandroni whistling the incredibly catchy "Trinity titoli" score, clearly tells you are in for a "tour de force" of a movie! Terence Hill portraits Trinity, an insolent drifter, that wants to constantly be near is brother Bambino, portrayed by Bud Spencer, "a common horse thief and not a very good one either", according to Trinity, which due to previous events is the new sheriff of a calm town... until the arrival of Trinity that is! As Bambino explains "One shop destroyed. Three heads split like overripe melons. One man wounded and one castrated. All in two hours."The Love/Hate relationship between the brothers, clearly outlined by Trinity being the right hand of the devil and Bambino the left hand of the devil, their mother that is a whore but not an old one (!), the Mexican prisoner that killed a "Gringo" (with a very little knife!) just because "he wanted to make love to his wife" , the Mormons, Mezcall's gang, the Mormon sisters, the beans (which weren't that good anyway!), the Major and that Colt .45, The special effects are minimal, a honourable mention for the fast- forward pistol drawing technique used by Trinity :). The sequel has a even funnier moment, where Trinity slaps an opponent. I rated it 10/10 because I grew up with Italian westerns and this one used to be one of my favourites, it brings me back so many memories!!The most interesting thing is that, although it was released in the late 60's it has maintained it's freshness. The score, the fights, the gun-fights, the dialogue, everything. A timeless masterpiece, that has stood the test of time, something that many US westerns from the same time struggle to do.The comedy is spot one and the lip sync is almost perfect, but this only adds to the charm of this masterpiece.Have I mentioned the famous "Trinity Titoli" song? That has to be one of the most fantastic scores in cinema, hands down!!!Trust me you need to watch this movie, it will make you feel younger and energised. I swear on Trinity's mother "May she become an honest woman, if I'm tellin' a lie."

MartinHafer Terrence Hill (actually, his real name is Mario Girotti) plays Trinity--the world's laziest cowboy hero. He used the least amount of energy possible when he fights--yet like any Italian western hero, he's practically unstoppable.One day Trinity wanders into a town and finds that his brother, Bambino (Bud Spencer--whose real name is Carlo Pedersoli) is the sheriff. This is odd, since his brother is a crook. Well, it turns out that is shot the guy coming to town to become sheriff and decided to pose as the sheriff. However, he's actually now doing a pretty good job as sheriff--mostly because he hates the big boss-man, the Major (Farley Granger). In fact, both he and Trinity gang up on the Major because the Major is trying to force the Mormons off their own land--and that just isn't nice.Now this brings us to a bit of a problem with the script. The Mormons are portrayed almost exactly like Quakers and they talk about how their beliefs preclude them from violence. However, that is NOT a Mormon belief and there were lots of times the sect resorted to violence--often to protect themselves but occasionally to commit a massacre. So, if you understand about the history of the religion, the major underpinning of this plot really doesn't make any sense. Regardless, the film is reasonably enjoyable and harmless fun--though the big fight sequence near the end was overlong. Not great by any stretch but enjoyable.

Dave from Ottawa Terence Hill's portrayal of sleepy-eyed gunman Trinity stretches physiological credulity a bit in that one finds oneself asking how somebody this lazy can be the fastest gun in the west. Speed implies nervous energy, not indolence. That said, spaghetti western stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer (not their real names) make a curiously well-matched thin guy-fat guy low comedy team in this meandering one-thing-after- another spoof that manages to work in enough zany stunting and general rambunctiousness to be entertaining. The out-of-sync English dubbing can get annoying at times, but the movie has a nice gritty slice-of-western- lowlife look and some nice shoot 'em up action scenes, plus Spencer and Hill manage to generate a fair bit of roguish charm. Worth a look-see if you keep expectations moderate.

Tom Willett (yonhope) Hi, Everyone, This is a very good comedy Western with some great scenes. The faces are wonderful. There is a scene with two very tough bad guys who are dressed in black. One guy looks like Gilbert Roland with a little touch of Robert Goulet. The other looks like either side of a Buffalo nickel.Beans served in a nice hideaway restaurant under a cow. A Sheriff on crutches. A bath scene with an ending different from Janet Leigh in Psycho.One reason to watch this for film students in addition to the obvious entertainment is to watch Farley Granger. I first saw this at a drive-in theater when it came out. I was surprised to see Farley doing so well as a bad guy. He had played bad guys before, but in the past his bad guys were vulnerable and confused types. (I recommend Strangers on a Train and Rope.) Murderers, but likable. Here he is a really bad guy. He is great.Many wonderful scenes in this gem. The bean scenes are not as good as Blazing Saddles, but still very good. The fight scenes are very enjoyable. Bud Spencer is especially fun when he is responding to someone saying, "Good evening, Sheriff." As viewers we find out hints as to Trinity and his brother's childhood. I would like to see a movie based on their mom and them as young 'uns.My 99 cent DVD was pretty good quality. The music is OK throughout.Check out the other Farley Granger films, especially when he was young.Tom Willett
