They Call Me Trinity [Lo chiamavano Trinità…] *** (1970, Terence Hill, Bud Spencer, Farley Granger, Steffen Zacharias) – Classic Movie Review 8408

Terence Hill is the man they call Trinity [Trinità] in director Enzo Barboni’s amusingly silly 1971 comedy spaghetti Western They Call Me Trinity [Lo chiamavano Trinità…], where he is paired, as so often, with Bud Spencer (as Bambino). Poor Farley Granger (as Major Harriman) is reduced to playing third-billed to these two!

In the screenplay by Enzo Barboni and Gene Luotto, a couple of ne’er-do-wells pair together to battle a wicked land baron scaring a Mormon community to possess their land for little or nothing.

Also in the cast are Elena Pedemonte, Steffen Zacharias, Dan Sturkie, Gisela Hahn and Ezio Marano, with Luciano Rossi as Timmy / Timid, Ugo Sasso as Sheriff Zoppo, Remo Capitani as Mezcal and Riccardo Pizzuti as Jeff.

Barboni is credited as E B Clucher.

The story and screenplay are by Enzo Barboni (as E B Clucher) and the dialogue is by Gene Luotto.
