Old Surehand

Old Surehand
Winnetou and Old Surehand have preciously little screen time together (for obvious reasons) and Larry Pennell is a rather bland villain, but Terence Hill's part as the stubborn young Toby, afraid of nothing, is particularly well written. His fiancée Judith is played by voluptuous blonde Letícia Román, an Italian actress - born as Letizia Novarese (1) - who had played the titular heroin in Russ Meyer's Fanny Hill (1964), and thereupon become a notorious starlet of German and Italian productions of dubious contents. She adds a welcome touch of eroticism to the movie, along with voluptuous brunette Jelena Jovanovich, another starlet of the same genre. Look quickly for Wolfgang Lukschy, Mr. Baxter from Fistful of Dollars, he plays the judge here. The script often defies logic and of course the film is also marred by the same silliness and often ridiculous comic relief as most other films in the series, but the script is so tight, and the pace so high, that it seems less detrimental here.
