Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The first and best in the 'Trinity' series of spaghetti Westerns, rare in that it is successful in combining laughter and some degree of interest in the action. It's carried off with considerable panache, thanks largely to the inspired Laurel & Hardy teaming of 'Hill', the sloppiest fast draw in the West, with the large, laconic 'Spencer' as his straight-man brother. Here they find themselves in conflict with an insane band of Mexicans manipulated by Farley Granger as the effete Major Harriman, who is bent on driving a settlement of Mormons from their fertile land. As usual it's horribly dubbed into English, but the nonchalant and expertly calculated ham that decorates the easy, breezy action makes you drop any reservations you might have in that direction.Author:
