My Favorite Bertolucci Film!
It has been a few years since I've seen "The Conformist". But, this was the first Bernardo Bertolucci movie I ever saw. And the film has stayed with me all this time. Like some of the other customers on here, I too feel this is Bertolucci at his best.

To be honest I really can't quite remember the story-line so well. A man named Marcello (Jean Louis Trintignant)is sent to assassinate his old professor, Professor Quadri (Enzo Tararscio), who left Italy when the fascist took over.

Bertolucci managed to tell such a powerful, abosorbing story, that even in at it's most gritty moments, I couldn't turn away from the screen. There's a scene where two people are shot at that would probably be describe by people as disgusting, but, my eyes were glued to the screen. And this is the power most of Bertolucci's films have. Well, at least on me.

I too feel it's a shame this film it not available on vhs or dvd. And because of that this film is not as well known as it should be. Here is a movie that many would agree upon as being one of Bertolucci's best films, and no one can see it. All most of us can do is just recall moments of the first time we saw it.

For anyone who ever gets a chance to buy this film or even rent, do it! It will truly be one of those rare films that will always keep coming back to you.

Bottom-line: Simply Bernardo Bertolucci's best film! Powerful and absorbing. Bertolucci hits the bullseye.

Breathlessly awaiting The Conformist on DVD
I was shown this film in cinema class when I was 17, and then only saw it again recently, 14 years later. It's still wonderful, and IMO Bertolucci's only universally great film. I don't fault Criterion for not including it in their releases, it's probably a rights issue as it normally is (i.e. they had but lost the rights to Kwaidan - A for effort though). Folks like Criterion and Anchor Bay can't always get the rights to a director's entire body of work. Despite it all, I am one of the masses breathlessly awaiting a DVD release of The Conformist (though not optimistic an original Italian language version was ever cut, so we may have to endure the bad dubbing forever) - the art direction and cinematography are unforgettable. I never forgot certain scenes over the course of 14 years and thousands of other wonderful films. Please someone, release the DVD rights to good people like Kino, Criterion or Anchor Bay - we'll be lining up.

Pictures without subtitles
Naturellemant! This is a film one has to see. And once and a while it plays in a cinema here or there. Isn't that the only possitive side effect of such a wonderfull movie un-available both on DVD AND in its original language? To have to be on the look out for cinema screenings, somewhere? If you really want to see this film! Yes, I think so. And there is one more.
But what a sin to dub this film! The soundtrack on this VHS tape is in English! I was under the impression this was a common procedure in Germany only - 'he, Ronny, wir mussen den Dollars und Magnums in John's chevrolet nach Miami fahren!' - and very understandably the treatment that is received by animated films for childeren.
The film is magnificently photographed - by Vittorio Storaro. And the film deals with an important story. You can allways watch the VHS tape with the soundtrack switched off! Than you turn the postsynchronisation into an advantage. Because, you will be able to view the picture without the disturbing subtitles. That's the other advantage of this tape.

DVD - Get moving Paramount
I've heard about this film from friends and film professors for years, but have been unwilling to watch butchered, dubbed versions. I missed a showing of the restored print up in Los Angeles yesterday. According to the LA Times, the restoration was personally supervised by the film's legendary cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro.

Paramount is to be commended for taking this step. Now they have to take the next one, however, and actually release it to DVD. A restored version of the film does little good playing in a few arthouse theaters where almost nobody can see it. Release this to DVD now, please!

Pleaaasssseeee....

The movie itself is great (4 stars). BUT! The quality of picture mastering on DVD is just 2 stars (out of 5) and audio even worse (0 out of 5). It looks like you're watching it on bad VHS machine.
Also they squeezed some of the widescreeen scenes. Awful! Can they spell letterbox?

The company which made it, Direct Source Special Products, Inc. out of Canada, has no published phone number and/or website, where I could complain. They should be held responsible for such a lousy mastering. ...

By the way, the same is true for They Call Me Trinity DVD, sound OK but picture: horrible!

Hill and Spencer do it again!
Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer star in this followup to "They Call Me Trinity". Just as funny, if not more so, then the previous movie. But good luck in finding the first movie of this series. "My Name is Nobody" starred Terrence Hill and Henry Fonda. It was more serious, but just as entertaining.

The boys are back
I remember watching several Bud Spencer/Terence Hill films in the early 1980s. This Italian comedy team always provided lots of laughs with the crazy situations each of their films put them in, and these two goofballs were in a lot of different situations, from westerns to car races to cop films. Throughout it all, the formula always stayed the same: Spencer played the taciturn giant who always found himself roped into yet another misadventure by kind hearted Hill. What followed usually involved several awesomely choreographed fistfights, slapstick comedy on a level one rarely sees, and a sappy ending where the two save some unfortunate soul who needed help. I am hoping for a DVD release of "Crimebusters," but until then I will take what I can get from these two funny actors. This means watching films like "They Call Me Trinity" and its sequel, "Trinity Is Still My Name." "They Call Me Trinity" and its subsequent sequels are clever spoofs of the popular spaghetti western genre so prevalent during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the first film, Hill and Spencer rescued a group of Mormons from the malicious plans of a gang of land developers. The second film reunites the brothers for a similarly themed rescue mission.

Trinity (Hill) and his brother Bambino (Spencer) still can't stand one another, but events once again force the two to cooperate as yet another plot aimed at the average man threatens the day. The two first come together again at their parents' house in a series of funny scenes that show how chaotic the brothers' home life must have been as children. Before they even get there, Trinity and Bambino are up to their old tricks. While crossing a desert to get to their parents' place, first Trinity and then Bambino run into a small gang of miscreants camping out behind a giant boulder. Both men manage to outfox these dense goons: Trinity through his fast gunplay and Bambino by bopping one of the guys on the head. Remember this group; they are the first of several running gags in the movie. Anyway, after staying with mom and pop for a time, the two move on together much to the entertainment of Trinity and the consternation of Bambino. They first meet a family heading west that is having difficulty with their wagon. Trinity falls for the beautiful daughter and thus leans on Bambino to help the family out. These people form yet another ongoing gag in the movie, and probably the funniest one. The gassy baby is a hoot.

Naturally, a rumor goes around that Trinity and Bambino are federal agents. The brothers do nothing to counter the accusations, particularly when the head honchos of a criminal gang offer them a bribe to look the other way in a gun smuggling operation. Trinity and Bambino take the money then move to break up the plot. Well, Trinity does, but his brother hates the idea. He's all for taking the money and moving on, an idea frustrated as events pull the brothers' into a hornet's nest involving the criminals and a group of monks. The obligatory fistfight breaks out as the brothers' attempt to thwart the criminals, save the monks, help the pioneer family, and still get away with the money. "They Call Me Trinity" ended on the same note, but the final fight here eclipses the big battle at the end of the first film. There must be at least a hundred men punching, kicking, and biting each other in the confines of that church. Will Bambino finally get away with a big score, or will Trinity once again foil yet another get rich quick scam? Fans of the two actors' films probably know the answer without watching the movie.

"Trinity Is Still My Name" isn't as good as the first film. In fact, the first film wasn't as good as many of the films made by Hill and Spencer. Maybe it's just me, but I vastly prefer their movies like "Crimebusters" to these spaghetti western spoofs. Hill and Spencer still do a good job establishing their characters, riffing off of one another wonderfully as they pick fights with the bad guys in these films, but it's not as much fun watching a fistfight in a church as it is watching one in a bowling alley (where the pair use bowling balls and shoes to knock the opposition senseless). I also tend to get a bit uneasy watching these two eat all those beans-the food looks gross, doesn't it? What are they really eating? That's what I'd like to know! Anyway, most fans of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer will appreciate the antics going on here. My favorite scenes involved Bambino sitting in the bar thinking about what he is going to do about the unfolding situation, and he won't let the owner close up. Every time the guy starts getting ready to leave, Bambino gets up and turns the clock back one hour. Priceless!

Once again, I waded through a Direct Source DVD. What is it with this company that they only release old spaghetti westerns? Worse, the picture quality is always mediocre. For the first "Trinity" film, the transfer wasn't too bad, but it's terrible for the sequel. They released an abysmal print of "Death Rides a Horse." Too, the only extras are usually a trivia quiz and minimal cast bios. Why a bigger company or studio doesn't jump in and do the old spaghetti western genre justice is a mystery. Perhaps they don't think a market exists for these films. Perhaps they don't want to shell out big bucks to do it. Perhaps they're too busy releasing the director's edition special deluxe super duper extreme version of "Transylvania 6-5000." Whatever the case, I hope these old movies find a decent release in the near future.

The bean-eatin'-boys strike again. . .
Trinity (Terence Hill) and his half brother Bambino (Bud Spencer) are up to their same old tricks in this thrilling sequel to the original smash hit. The bean eatin' brothers meet up at Ma & Pa's place for their once-a-year bath and a peaceful dinner (not hardly) with the family. The two head into San Jose where Trinity teaches a shifty gambler how deal - and shoot - straight, impressing the townsfolk just enough to be mistaken (with a little help) as federal agents. The black hats attempt to bribe the "agents" (who accept), but Trinity can't seem to leave behind the pretty pioneer that's come to town. Soon the boys uncover a gun smuggling operation and, in due course, manage to settle things in their own unique (and slightly larcenous) way. Good fun, but some of the language is not for young kids. ... Read more

A Spectacular Saturday Afternoon Movie
Terence Hill plays Trinity (aka the left hand of the devil), a lightning fast gunfighter beyond comparison. We first meet him when he is on a travois being dragged into town by his horse. He's barefoot, and has to put his boots on. Fishing out a scorpion, he then puts his boots on and goes in a canteena where his starvation raises some eyebrows. After shooting three men in the blink of an eye, he finishes his meal. If you think this is gruesome, it's actually comedy. Trinity outshoots everyone in this movie. Watch for the running gag of three men supporting a roof whose supports have been shot out. As it turns out, Trinity has come to town to see his brother-the sheriff (aka bambino-the right hand of the devil). This is a comedic spaghetti western without all of the heaviness of a Clint Eastwood western. Enjoy this movie.

Trinity Is Still My Favorite Western
I saw this movie over 25 years ago in San Antonio, Texas, at the now-closed Aztec Three Theatres downtown; a friend of mine asked if I could find this title, and here it is! I can't wait to buy it! Fantastic!

Trinity Eats Spagetti
Trinity would shoot up the good the bad and the ugly... he is by far the toughest cowboy never to be filmed in the US.

Quintiscential Spagetti Western Comedy
This is a truly classic pair of movies. I enjoyed them in the 70's and now my 6 year old and I can enjoy them together. It is good, clean fun. True the quality is not that great, but, look at the credits. My credit card has a higher limit than the budget for this film. BTW, the few non-Italian names in the credits (like Terence Hill & Bud Spencer) are not real. Even the blonde haired blue eyed star (Hill) was born Mario Girotti.

Best Spaghetti Western Spoof
Although the picture quality is low, the editing is poor and the acting is horrendous, the whole idea of a couple of half-brothers that are the fastest-draw gunslingers in the West is remarkable. Trinity is the cute guy who doesn't like to work. Bambino hates Trinity cause he always gets both of them into trouble. These 2 are known as the left and right hand of the devil, and when they work together they get a job done right, though not the way you might expect. ... Read more

They first meet a family heading west that is having difficulty with their wagon. Trinity falls for the beautiful daughter and thus leans on Bambino to help the family out. These people form yet another ongoing gag in the movie, and probably the funniest one. The gassy baby is a hoot.

Naturally, a rumor goes around that Trinity and Bambino are federal agents. The brothers do nothing to counter the accusations, particularly when the head honchos of a criminal gang offer them a bribe to look the other way in a gun smuggling operation. Trinity and Bambino take the money then move to break up the plot. Well, Trinity does, but his brother hates the idea. He's all for taking the money and moving on, an idea frustrated as events pull the brothers' into a hornet's nest involving the criminals and a group of monks. The obligatory fistfight breaks out as the brothers' attempt to thwart the criminals, save the monks, help the pioneer family, and still get away with the money. "They Call Me Trinity" ended on the same note, but the final fight here eclipses the big battle at the end of the first film. There must be at least a hundred men punching, kicking, and biting each other in the confines of that church. Will Bambino finally get away with a big score, or will Trinity once again foil yet another get rich quick scam? Fans of the two actors' films probably know the answer without watching the movie.

"Trinity Is Still My Name" isn't as good as the first film. In fact, the first film wasn't as good as many of the films made by Hill and Spencer. Maybe it's just me, but I vastly prefer their movies like "Crimebusters" to these spaghetti western spoofs. Hill and Spencer still do a good job establishing their characters, riffing off of one another wonderfully as they pick fights with the bad guys in these films, but it's not as much fun watching a fistfight in a church as it is watching one in a bowling alley (where the pair use bowling balls and shoes to knock the opposition senseless). I also tend to get a bit uneasy watching these two eat all those beans-the food looks gross, doesn't it? What are they really eating? That's what I'd like to know! Anyway, most fans of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer will appreciate the antics going on here. My favorite scenes involved Bambino sitting in the bar thinking about what he is going to do about the unfolding situation, and he won't let the owner close up. Every time the guy starts getting ready to leave, Bambino gets up and turns the clock back one hour. Priceless!

Once again, I waded through a Direct Source DVD. What is it with this company that they only release old spaghetti westerns? Worse, the picture quality is always mediocre. For the first "Trinity" film, the transfer wasn't too bad, but it's terrible for the sequel. They released an abysmal print of "Death Rides a Horse." Too, the only extras are usually a trivia quiz and minimal cast bios. Why a bigger company or studio doesn't jump in and do the old spaghetti western genre justice is a mystery. Perhaps they don't think a market exists for these films. Perhaps they don't want to shell out big bucks to do it. Perhaps they're too busy releasing the director's edition special deluxe super duper extreme version of "Transylvania 6-5000." Whatever the case, I hope these old movies find a decent release in the near future.

The bean-eatin'-boys strike again. . .
Trinity (Terence Hill) and his half brother Bambino (Bud Spencer) are up to their same old tricks in this thrilling sequel to the original smash hit. The bean eatin' brothers meet up at Ma & Pa's place for their once-a-year bath and a peaceful dinner (not hardly) with the family. The two head into San Jose where Trinity teaches a shifty gambler how deal - and shoot - straight, impressing the townsfolk just enough to be mistaken (with a little help) as federal agents. The black hats attempt to bribe the "agents" (who accept), but Trinity can't seem to leave behind the pretty pioneer that's come to town. Soon the boys uncover a gun smuggling operation and, in due course, manage to settle things in their own unique (and slightly larcenous) way. Good fun, but some of the language is not for young kids. ... Read more

The movie itself is great (4 stars). BUT! The quality of picture mastering on DVD is just 2 stars (out of 5) and audio even worse (0 out of 5). It looks like you're watching it on bad VHS machine.
Also they squeezed some of the widescreeen scenes. Awful! Can they spell letterbox?

The company which made it, Direct Source Special Products, Inc. out of Canada, has no published phone number and/or website, where I could complain. They should be held responsible for such a lousy mastering. ...

By the way, the same is true for They Call Me Trinity DVD, sound OK but picture: horrible!

Hill and Spencer do it again!
Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer star in this followup to "They Call Me Trinity". Just as funny, if not more so, then the previous movie. But good luck in finding the first movie of this series. "My Name is Nobody" starred Terrence Hill and Henry Fonda. It was more serious, but just as entertaining.

The boys are back
I remember watching several Bud Spencer/Terence Hill films in the early 1980s. This Italian comedy team always provided lots of laughs with the crazy situations each of their films put them in, and these two goofballs were in a lot of different situations, from westerns to car races to cop films. Throughout it all, the formula always stayed the same: Spencer played the taciturn giant who always found himself roped into yet another misadventure by kind hearted Hill. What followed usually involved several awesomely choreographed fistfights, slapstick comedy on a level one rarely sees, and a sappy ending where the two save some unfortunate soul who needed help. I am hoping for a DVD release of "Crimebusters," but until then I will take what I can get from these two funny actors. This means watching films like "They Call Me Trinity" and its sequel, "Trinity Is Still My Name." "They Call Me Trinity" and its subsequent sequels are clever spoofs of the popular spaghetti western genre so prevalent during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the first film, Hill and Spencer rescued a group of Mormons from the malicious plans of a gang of land developers. The second film reunites the brothers for a similarly themed rescue mission.

Trinity (Hill) and his brother Bambino (Spencer) still can't stand one another, but events once again force the two to cooperate as yet another plot aimed at the average man threatens the day. The two first come together again at their parents' house in a series of funny scenes that show how chaotic the brothers' home life must have been as children. Before they even get there, Trinity and Bambino are up to their old tricks. While crossing a desert to get to their parents' place, first Trinity and then Bambino run into a small gang of miscreants camping out behind a giant boulder. Both men manage to outfox these dense goons: Trinity through his fast gunplay and Bambino by bopping one of the guys on the head.
