Barboni, Enzo (1922)

?Aka E. B. Clucher. After photographing several early Italian Westerns (including Django), Barboni directed the double-act of Mario Girotti ('Terence Hill') and Carlo Pedersoli ('Bud Spencer') in the 'Trinity' series of slapstick Westerns at Cinecitta. The double-act had first appeared in Quattro dell'Ave Maria (1968), which had enormous success in Europe. Trinity was the lazy but agile blue-eyed 'Northerner', while his brother Bam?bino ('don't ever call me Bambino') was the stout, slow-moving but tough 'Southerner'. Together, they were to become the Tom and Jerry of the Spaghetti Western - with a lot of noisy fistfights and not much bloodshed. Continuavano a chiamarlo Trinita made more money in Italy than any other Western before or since.
