They Call Me Trinity (Dir. Enzo Barboni Clucher 1971): A spoof of 'The Magnificent Seven' where a drifter rides into town where his brother is impersonating the local sherriff... Trinity Is Still My Name (Dir. Enzo Barboni Clucher 1972): Trinity and his brother set out to fulfill the promise they made to their dying father to become successful bandits... My Name Is Nobody (Dir. Tonino Valerii 1973): One of the biggest hits of Sergio Leone's career 'My Name Is Nobody' brings together two Western icons: Henry Fonda and 70s Italian superstar Terence Hill. Fonda plays ageing gunslinger Jack Beauregard and nobody is faster than Beauregard - until he meets a man called Nobody (Hill) who has been hired to kill him. However Beauregard was Nobody's childhood hero and the wily young gun starts planning a way that Jack can go down in the history books. Directed by Leone's former assistant director Tonino Valerii with Leone himself taking charge for certain sequences 'My Name Is Nobody' takes an ironic and often comic look at many Spaghetti Western conventions and features one of Ennio Morricone's most delightful playful scores.
The continuing misadventures of Duncan Waring (Robin Nedwell) Dick Stuart-Clark (Geoffrey Davies) and Paul Collier (George Layton) see them move further up the promotion ladder but no change in their fondness for slacking off and trying to chat up girls nor in their ability to drive Professor Loftus (Ernest Clark) round the bend. But there's more trouble for the boys in the form of brown-noser Lawrence Bingham (Richard O'Sullivan) who trots about after Loftus in the hope of crawling into the good books.
Two more investigations for Foyle set on the southern coast of England during World War II who is assisted by Milner and his driver Sam.
By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and the wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable programme to a new high. "A Lesson in Murder" concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war hovers over everything and a home-front crisis makes heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh
