Important in its own way because this was the first time handsome Terence Hill and beefy Bud Spencer teamed up on what was to be something like 20 movies, most of them westerns. Hill is a gun man and Spencer an insurance investigator, both chasing after bandit Frank Wolf.
I found this very hard going. Hill and Spencer later became known as comedy stars but there's precious little of that here. There's some glowering, gun play and double crosses - decent action, a story reminiscent of For a Few Dollars More with a finale like The Good the Bad and the Ugly. It's quite a harsh, serious film, different to later Hill-Spencer vehicls. Frank Wolf shows off his mutton chops that you'll probably recognise from Once upon a Time in America.
