Jesse & Lester – Due fratelli in un posto chiamato Trinità (Jesse & Lester – Two Brothers In a Place Called Trinity) starts Richard Harrison as woman-loving, gun shooting Jesse Smith and Donald O’Brien as Lester O’Hara, a God-fearing Mormon. They’re also half brothers who have inherited land from their uncle and must kick gold prospectors off the land. Not just other people who want the gold but rustlers using slaves to get the gold. They also get involved in gambling on boxing, which means that Jesse has to fight in the ring to get their gold back.
Jesse is running from a series of fathers angry that he’s impregnated the daughters and has the dream of opening his own bordello while Lester wants to open a church. These are not mutual goals, but they must work together. Anne Zimmerman also plays Elena Von Schaffer, the love interest of Jesse. She’s also in The Sister of Ursula, Camorra and The Bloodstained Butterfly.
Director Renzo Genta worked with Harrison to write and direct this movie. He’s better known as the writer of movies such as Concorde Affaire ’79, Last Cannibal World and Day of Anger.
This is episodic and, as you can imagine, trying to be a Trinity movie. Harrison and O’Brien are good, but they don’t reach their inspirations.
