This is a Spaghetti Western rip-off of Bugsy Malone. A kid with a wild imagination overhears the plan of a gang of bandits who intend to hold up a bank. He decides to beat them to it and with a gang of other kids robs the bank. When the outlaws try to get the money he sets a trap for the outlaws with the local sheriff.
This one makes a great double feature with "L'ostaggio", I tell you :0
ReplyDeleteWhat does the info about directors mean, I don't get it. Roberto Amoroso is the producer alright but who the hell is Serrando Gonzales? Official credit in the opening credits goes to "Tony Good", which is usually assumed to be Tonino Ricci under a one-time pseudonym.
I've found that some Spanish releases use Serrando Gonzales as the director. This would then also be a pseudonym for Tonini Ricci.
ReplyDeleteWhen I use the / sign this means it is the same person.
Smjango you are correct. Tony Good is a pseudonym for Tonino Ricci. Correction will be made. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
ReplyDeleteBiltmore: Flavio is on of the boys!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDanish title: Vestens Skræk
ReplyDeleteThere was also an all kid Zorro film by this same production team. Whether it was ever released is debatable.
