Two brothers set out in search of a treasure, buried in secret by their late father many years prior.
Here's another dumb comedy slapstick Eurowestern of which there is seemingly an inexhaustible supply. Fans of Spaghettis (like me) will amazed (like I was) at discvering this film available to stream in widescreen HD at Amazon: it's a film I'd never heard of, the only feature from a director I'd never heard of, starring two lesser Euro stars among a cast of unfamiliar faces.
So what is it? Another mismatched pair of guys, this time two brothers: one is a dummy (Martell) who's handsome, the other is, uh, also a dummy (Borgese), who thinks he's a gunfighter but is really just a clueless klutz. Mama gives them a map to find Papa's gold stash (torn in half so the fellas will have to cooperate) and from there, we're off.
The action is sparse, with some random brawls, standoffs, and chases, but none of it is particularly engaging. There's a rich town-boss-type and his sniveling henchman on the boys' trail, as well as a Union Lieutenant who also craves the hidden loot. Music, by the team of Bixio, Frizzi & Tempera, is bubbly and lively but peppered with era-inappropriate synth blasts throughout. Additionally, the choice is made to insert loud, non-diegetic sound FX to each punch or conk on the head. Kettle drums, pinball machine sounds, that type of thing. It's goofy but more annoying than funny to be honest.
Add a godawful post-dub dialog track, one of the worst I've heard in recent memory (just loud and annoying and lacking of any nuance or craft), and a ridiculously unmemorable non-sequitur title (translated directly from the original Italian, I'd assume*), it's no wonder this thing has a low profile.
About the only thing I'd say is a plus for the flick is the performance of wiry and rubber-faced Sal Borgese, who is rather brilliant at his particular brand of physical-comedy acting. Borgese was, by the '70s, elevated from supporting player to leading man status in Eurotrash pics, seeing top billing in flick like this one, and several of the THREE SUPERMEN entries.
If you're reading this blurb, you're probably curious enough about this kind of movie to warrant a peek at the film, but honestly you shouldn't feel bad about leaving this box unticked on your big Eurowestern checklist. HD stream available as I write at Amazon and also Tubi.
*Not sure if the film's actual original title is the Italian La pazienza ha un limite... noi no! Or the Spanish ¡Caray, qué palizas! ("Damn, What a Beating!) as the pic was an Italo-Spanish co-production.
