action
The pretty twin sisters Sally and Jenny Parker travel from village to village with their uncle and a small show that mainly shows singing pieces and shooting tricks. One day when her uncle wins a farm lot playing poker while staying for a long time, the girls quickly become heiresses because the uncle is shot. That puts them at the center of not quite straightforward interests: a mysterious background actor desires the country because he knows that the future railway line will run there. When engineer Bob Clark discovered oil deposits, the bandages became harder. The young cattle farmer Jimmy Trevor, who is crossed with the twins because of his animals being poisoned, is kidnapped. His father is murdered and the ransom money he was carrying stolen. With Bob's help, Jimmy escapes; Together they find out that the sinister sheriff is behind the misdeeds. Jimmy confronts and kills him in a duel; the two twin sisters marry the two heroes.
criticism
The Lexicon of International Films wrote that the work was a “European Western with inconsistent staging; half musical, half harsh spaghetti westerns. ”“ What is remarkable is not the predictable naturalness with which the story develops, but the bright tone and the sentimental sequences that oscillate with the scenes of violence, ”say the Segnalazioni Cinematografiche . The Evangelische Film-Beobachter sums up his criticism as follows: “Mediocre Western burlesque that ruins its style with unnecessary harshness and silly blandness. Superfluous."
Remarks
The Italian title is Una donna per Ringo ; As is so often the case, the hero has a very different name depending on the language version.
