Hi, Everyone, The DVD copy I have is not great quality. If it were beautifully restored it might be better. My copy gives me the impression the camera operator held the camera in one hand and a candle in the other.
The movie might be the best ever Western/Circus/Musical/Comedy/Action film ever to combine Little People, Cowboys, Land Grabbers and Trapeze Artists. It is never as much fun as the Trinity movies I loved.
Terence Hill looks OK when it is possible to see him. Usually he is in the dark. The gunfights are passable, but often I had no idea who was the good guy getting shot or the bad guy getting punched.
Victor Buono does a fine job being bad.
The basic story line is excellent. The cast is fine. The telling of the story is where it falls apart.
If you get a chance to buy this one, called Boot Hill in the U.S., I would recommend not buying it. This is that rare old movie that could be remade better today. This could be a good vehicle for John Travolta and Will Smith and Steven Segal (spelling?).
