Two R-R-Ringos from Texas
A western comedy starring the Sicilian comedians Franco and Ciccio who produced dozens of such spoofs in the 1960s. This time, they quote mainly "The Good, the Bad And the Ugly". Ciccio is sergeant in the army and Franco volunteers to join (after too many drinks). Franco has a talking horse telling him where a treasure is buried. They have to get behind enemy lines in the civil war to get hold of it, though.
Curator's Take
“Another Franco and Ciccio parody. This time they are inept cowboys. If you enjoy the 'Abbott and Costello' dynamic in a western setting, this provides exactly that.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A pure farce. The title itself is a joke, signaling to the audience not to take anything seriously. It’s a document of the final, silliest days of the genre.
