Quiz
The opening credits and subsequent transition shots are of the Durango Silverton narrow gauge railroad. It is very obviously B-roll from the opening and closing titles of L'infallibile pistolero strabico (1971), which UA released the previous year, though cropped to 2.35:1.

Blooper
When Tom first tries shooting a gun (inside the cabin), the gun alternates from being in his right hand (in frontal shots) to being his left hand (in back shots).

Citazioni
Holy Joe: [reading the Englishman's last letter] I don't know whether I'll find rich green grass or tough weeds up there. But, if there's rich grass, praise be to God! If there's nothing but weeds... praise be to God. The only thing I'll miss is your friendship. For the rest, I have no regrets.

Terence Hill as "Tenderfoot" from Lucky Luke decades before he stars as Lucky Luke himself

Watching this right now, trying to figure out if it was directly inspired by the Lucky Luke adventure about the Duke arriving in the USA from England. And I suspect it is, because all the humor structure is centered around that.

Come to think of it, back then it must have been quite normal to adapt a major comic book to cinema without properly crediting the source material. Still, this is a head scratcher and I gotta check the publication date of that Lucky Luke adventure to make sure.

Anyways...

Terence Hill is watchable even without Bud Spencer, however the supporting cast has difficulty shining when there is only one lead.

Production quality and pace are same with all those other spaghetti westerns. Facial expressions during the brawl scenes are the highlights.

Watchable after half a decade, but not the best example to the genre it belongs with.

P. S. Just checked it. The adventure is titled after the character "Tenderfoot" and was published in French in 1968. Yep, my theory holds water. Italian filmmakers saw the potential soon as (and maybe even before) translations were around.
