Deaf Smith & Johnny Ears (1972)
Director: Paolo Cavara
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An unmemorable Italian Western spoilt by an over-complicated, over 'historical' plot (about the Republic of Texas in 1834 and its entry into the Union); not to mention some some very unfunny business between Quinn, in his nature man guise as a deaf mute, and Nero as his would-be engaging 'ears'.Author:
