moonspinner55 East meets West, with the usual pleasures to be had in a rather typical fish-out-of-water story. Terence Hill is the jolly Britisher who arrives in Old West Arizona upon his dying father's wish that he become a cowboy. Writer-director Enzo Barboni knows just how to utilize Hill's starry-eyed charm, and the actor is very funny exercising in the morning in front of the gunslingers or riding his bicycle down tumbleweed streets. A ready-made romance is provided for our hero with a literature-minded lass into Byron (her baby-blue eyes match up well with Hill's, although his dimply prettiness is tough to beat). The film isn't much, but the English-dubbing is good and the Yugoslavian locations give it a curious and unusual look. The general handling is so amiable that viewers may become absorbed by the movie without even realizing it. It sneaks up on you, like the best kind of sleeper. ** from ****
cengelm City dweller meats countryside and encounters a lot of trouble. Naturally he has to gain respect and to prove that he's worthy, too. The humor is similar to the one of the Trinity series and is never truly violent. No one will be killed or injured. The film was shot in the beautiful environment of the Plitvice lakes in Croatia and reminded me of the days I spent there.6 / 10.
MarKus-371 Sir Thomas Moore, An eccentric Englishman, is sent to the Wild West by his dying fathers last wish, to teach him how to be a "real" man. He is threatened by a man called Morton, who wants to marry the girl that Hill also wishes to marry. With the help of his 3 friends, Hill learns how to fight and use a gun in case he is challenged by Morton.Being a fan of Terence Hill movies, I decided to get a bootleg of this movie off a friend. I was told this movie was better then Hill's 2 most famous movies THEY CALL ME TRINITY & TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME. This movie wasn't that funny and the action was just average. Still I enjoyed seeing MAN OF THE EAST, but its nothing special, and a bit overlong I might add. It's worth seeing once if your a Hill/Spencer fan. My vote: **1/2 out of ****
rtillman I saw this film back in 1972 in a small town where I lived. It came to the theater as "The Man from the East". I loved it! I walked out of the theater with my gut aching from laughing so much. That was my first experience of seeing Terence Hill. I have been a fan of his ever since. To this day I tell my wife of some of the scenes. I wish it would come out on video so that my wife will not think that I am making things up. It is a film for the whole family and I would be one of the first ones to buy it if it ever came out!
