This is a film I would never usually have watched. I only have it on my shelf
because it was released on the same Blu-ray as
"Fanny Hill". If I have it I might as well watch it. It might be a hidden treasure,
waiting for me to discover it and say Wow!
Not quite. It's a notoriously silly slapstick comedy that's at least funnier
than "Fanny Hill". The story takes place in the small town Tucca Flats, which
has a population of 52, including dogs, cats and Indians. A gang called the
Terrible Seven rides in and takes over the town. The sheriff flees after
nominating the young theological student Phil Phillips as his successor. The
trouble is that Phil has never touched a gun in his life. Even when someone in
town gives him a gun, he's not very good with it.
Phil is called a phantom gunslinger, because he's killed in gunfights more
than once, but every time he goes to Heaven he begs God to let him return to
Earth to save Tucca Flats from the Terrible Seven.
The film made me chuckle a few times, but I won't watch it again.
