Boot Hill (La collina degli stivali)

Movie · 1969 · 14 people

Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, the popular duo, head Boot Hill (Italian title La collina degli stivali), a 1969 Italian Spaghetti Western comedy that Giuseppe Colizzi wrote and directed. Carlo Rustichelli composed the music, and the film runs about 106 minutes. It was released in Germany as Hügel der blutigen Stiefel and Zwei hau'n auf den Putz, and in France as La Colline des bottes.

It is the last film of a trilogy Colizzi directed with Hill and Spencer, which began with God Forgives... I Don't! in 1967 and continued with Ace High (I quattro dell'Ave Maria) in 1968. Besides the two leads, the cast includes Woody Strode, Glauco Onorato, Victor Buono, Eduardo Ciannelli, Lionel Stander, George Eastman, Alberto Dell'Acqua, Luciano Rossi, Enzo Fiermonte, Wayde Preston, Mirella Pamphili and Tito García.

To profit from the success of the duo's later Trinity films, it was re-released as Trinity Rides Again, reappeared in France under other titles and was promoted in Brazil as if it belonged to that series, so it is often wrongly counted as part of it.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Terence Hill and Bud Spencer together, plus a spaghetti western: what more could you want? The mix of comedy and western makes a fun package for genre fans. But anyone who sits down thinking it is one of the Trinity films may not find the same thing; this one closes a separate trilogy and has its own feel.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

Many families who hear the names Hill and Spencer may assume this is a relaxed comedy like the Trinity films. Although it is a western comedy, it comes with the genre's gunfights. Some care is needed with young children; it suits older kids and teenagers who like westerns better. Watching with grandparents who are fans of the duo can be fun.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

The most interesting thing about Boot Hill is less the film itself than what happened to it. As the last part of the Colizzi trilogy that began with God Forgives... I Don't! and continued with Ace High, it has its own coherence, and Carlo Rustichelli's music adds to the atmosphere of that world. But its re-release as Trinity Rides Again, to cash in on the Trinity films, blurred its identity for years. That is why it should be read in its proper place today, as the close of a trilogy. Seen that way, it is an interesting document of a transitional phase before the duo's comedy hardened into a formula.
