MOVIE REVIEW
They Call Me Trinity is an Italian spaghetti western
comedy film written and directed by Enzo Barboni and produced by Italo
Gingerelli released in 1970. The film stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as two
brothers, Trinity and Bambino, who help to protect a Mormon settlement from
Mexican bandits and land grabber Major Harriman. Movie was filmed on location
in Lazio, Italy.
The story of the film revolves around Trinity, a lazy
gunfighter with an unnaturally fast draw skill and a shot of ammunition, who is dragged on a travois by his horse to a way station and
restaurant. There he encounters a
pair of bounty hunters with a wounded Mexican prisoner. Trinity calmly pulls
the Mexican away from the two men, killing them before they shoot him in the
back. The pair arrive in a small town where they meet the local sheriff, a
quick-witted man similar to Trinity, who shoots three people dead after
harassing him for not letting one of his criminal friends go free.
It is clear that Trinity and Bambino are siblings. Bambino is merely posing as the new sheriff of the small town
while he awaits the arrival of his gang from the penitentiary from which he
escaped, following a run-in with the actual sheriff who incidentally took the
same way as Bambino on his way to his new post. Bambino is not happy to see his troublemaking brother.
However, the two forms a temporary partnership to deal with Major Harriman, who
is trying to drive a group of pacifist Mormon farmers off their land, intending
to use their property to graze their own horses. The fact that these horses are
expensive and unbranded explains Bambino's preference to work with his little
brother, whom he regards as a changeless bum with no ambition.
However, Trinity falls in love with two Mormon sisters
and genuinely cares for the welfare of Mormon immigrants. He helps Bambino and
Bambino's henchmen train the appeasing Mormons to fight, and in the final
battle, the Mormon leader discovers in the book of Ecclesiastes that the Bible
says "there is a time for fighting" and Mormons unleashes against the
Major Harriman thugs use the dirty fighting tactics they just learned.
Bambino is flabbergasted and infuriated to learn that Trinity
has given the Major's horses to the Mormons. Happily married to two Mormon
sisters, Trinity realizes that a married Mormon might actually have to work, so
rushes after Bambino, who angrily sends him in the opposite direction. After
Bambino leaves for California, the real sheriff shows up and Trinity points him
in Bambino's direction. Trinity then reclines in his travois and brings up the rear with
his horse, following them all.
