Synopsis

Two estranged brothers, a city gambler and a farmer living out West, inherit a fortune on the condition they manage to endure each other for a period of six months. Arriving at his brother’s place, the city boy insults a local gang leader, who burns down the house. Now the two brothers have to do all kind of stupid things to make a living (and pass the time), like robbing banks and kidnapping rich people’s daughters.

Comment

The film was supposed to make a star out of boxing champion Nino Benvenuti. For the occasion Giuliano Gemma was reunited with ‘Ringo director‘ Duccio Tessari. While not awful, the movie isn’t particularly good either. The opening scene (set in turn of the century New York) is nice, some jokes are funny, but the script merely is a series of vignettes that do not hang together. Sydne Rome is sexy in her first appearance in an Italian movie. – Scherpschutter
