ANYTHING ANYBODY CAN DO NOBODY CAN DO BETTER.
Aging gunfighter Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda) meets a younger, very fast talent (Terence Hill) who looks up to him and wants him to take on the Wild Bunch. A spaghetti Western largely made in the U.S. that began with an idea by Sergio Leone whose fingerprints are all over the film. Much of it relies on slapstick where Nobody’s virtually supernatural talents are put to the test; it’s a role that fits Hill well after They Call Me Trinity (1970). Silly, and that includes a music score that is annoyingly infectious, but it does have charm and Fonda is good as the gunslinger who dreams of Europe.
