A drifter named Jeep wanders into a wild west town, seemingly to
avenge the death of his brother at the hands of a paid gunslinger. However,
his plans quickly go astray when he enters the Little Paradise brothel
and meets Lucille Belle - owner, singer, whore - harboring a secret about
a local gold mine. She finds herself in danger from a rowdy outlaw gang
[and its boss, Carsen] when they attempt to steal her portion of a treasure
map partially inscribed on chunks of gold. Lucille recruits Jeep as her
bodyguard and partner.
Director Sergio Grieco makes his intentions clear during
the credits with an on-screen notice Una Parodia Western All'italiana
[An Italian Western Parody] before the title even appears. Obviously
the emphasis should therefore be on humor. But too often the gags overshoot
the setup and simply don't work. In addition, the film is loaded with
a suspicious amount of rather brutal segments and adult material resulting
an overall mixed impression.
Sergio Grieco helmed 40+ movies between 1950-77, hitting
his stride after '64 when - under the Terence Hathaway alias -
he became Italy's sought-after director of Spy Actioners (best known for
007
MISSION BLOODY MARY and FANTASTIC
ARGOMAN). He also took time for nunsploitation [SINFUL
NUNS OF SAINT VALENTINE] and, of course, a Western. Mr Grieco
died from a heart attack at age 65 in March 1982, shortly after completing
BEASTS
WITH MACHINE GUNS.
This
film BELONGS to Marisa Mell. She owns every scene
as brothel madame Lucille Belle [even singing the title song 'Where The
Bullets Fly' on the saloon stage]. Marisa made 75+ movies between 1960-90
(including THE
CHAINED, PERVERSION
STORY, VIOLENT
BLOOD BATH, RING
OF DARKNESS, et al) but she initially became an "overnight
sensation" in 1968 after playing Eva Kant in Mario Bava's DANGER
DIABOLIK. For most of her career, Ms Mell was dangerously addicted
to cocaine, resulting in severe health problems. She died from throat
cancer at the early age of 53 in May 1992.
