Teste calde e tanta fifa

This is the funniest comedy western movie. Walt was a visionary. I hope one day another generation can appreciate this movie. Good versus evil, it will always be great to watch. Don is comedic magician. And one man plays 3 roles and does an excellent job. A must see A+

Hot Lead and Cold Feat belong with Don Knott's better films but maybe not his very best. With that out of the way, maybe Don Knotts and Jack Elam's characters could've been the most entertaining and downright hilarious pleasures to this film.

The film follows the story of two twin brothers who don't know of each other's existence and are summoned to inherit a reward by their father. Complete opposites, the two brothers learn of each other and engage in a contest to win the inheritance.

The film is definitely a classic for its genre and watching even at this day, is quite entertaining. However, if the audience doesn't have similar nostalgia for it as others who grew up with this family fun time, laughs may be in short supply. The script includes some unbelievable dialogue and plot holes that genuinely leave the viewer scratching their head. In addition to the sometimes cringe-worthy flaws, the movie suffers from an outrageous dependency on unnecessary slap-stick humor that becomes a little tiring.

Despite the holes and obvious problems, Hot Lead and Cold Feat is undeniably a fun time and indeed quite rewatchable. Although many characters feel unnecessary to the progression of the plot, each performance is handled very well and with enthusiasm. It's genuinely fun watching these performances and it's quite impossible to refrain from smiling.

Hot Lead and Cold Feat is a guilty pleasure and is for most people. However, it's not the guiltiest of fun bad movies. It's a good time and it's a good time especially for the whole family.

I seen this movie at the movie theater when I was a little girl....it is one of my first memories of being at the movies.....and I loved it....very funny with little life lessons along the way..after all these years I never forgot hot lead and cold feet...I even remember the theme song..."hot lead and cold feet..may the best man win...hot lead and cold feet..may the best man win.." dadadada....What stands out in this movie is the performance of the lead character playing both parts of the gunfighter twin and the mild mannered twin...I think that kids today need to rediscover this movie....it should be remembered as a family classic...I cannot wait to purchase this on DVD and you should to especially if you have young children....

This lively comedy-Western from Disney is largely a vehicle for the talented British comic Jim Dale, who is given the opportunity to play three roles. Jasper Bloodshy, an ornery old fart who created a town in his name, his hell raising outlaw son Wild Billy, and a son, Eli, who nobody but Jasper knew about. Eli has been working as a missionary in Philadelphia, and comes to Bloodshy when Jasper apparently perishes. The old man had a will, but the proviso is that the two sons / heirs compete in a series of gruelling races before things are settled. However, the greedy mayor (Darren McGavin) schemes to get the money for himself, with the help of various bumbling goons.

Oddly enough, it's when we get to the climactic race that the movie loses some of the momentum that it's built up. While the action and the stunts are first rate, the material just isn't as humorous. A shame, because up until then, everything is played quite speedily and breathlessly. The fact that the town is basically a lawless place allows for a lot of chaos.

The star laden cast easily give it everything that they've got. Don Knotts is right at home in one of his standard bumbling authority figures, complete with all of the comic actors' nervous tics and reactions. Jack Elam is perfectly cast as his nemesis. Karen Valentine (as an aspiring schoolteacher) and Debbie Lytton & Michael Sharrett (as Eli's young charges) have plenty of appeal. McGavin is simply a wonderful slimeball villain. And Dale has a ball with his three very different roles, especially old coot Jasper, who must suffer several indignities as he spies on the proceedings with his long suffering butler (John Williams).

Beautiful scenery and a bouncy theme song help to make this pretty good, if not hysterical.

Seven out of 10.

British comedian Jim Dale was starring in a lot of Walt Disney films that Dean Jones was apparently unavailable for in the Seventies. One of them was this western comedy Hot Lead And Cold Feet where Dale got to play three different roles where he tread on Alec Guinness territory.

Dale plays a father with two twin sons, one of them taken by their mother when she split from Dale. The one who stayed with Dale became a notorious gunfighter, the other was raised in Philadelphia and served in the army that General Booth started. I imagine that there were legal technicalities that prevented Disney Studios from outrightly saying it was the Salvation Army.

In any event the father fakes his own death and there is a will that leaves the holdings of an entire town to the winner of a race that the two sons have to participate in. So the missionary Dale finds out when he goes west with two young orphans Debbie Lytton and Michael Sharrett. It's a kind old west marathon with a pentathlon of sorts involved as well. Gunfighter Dale of course is ready to do in his missionary brother. But a certain divine hand of Providence seems to be watching over the missionary. Definitely has to be because he's also getting new school teacher Karen Valentine in the bargain.

Don Knotts as the sheriff and Jack Elam a notorious former outlaw whose best days are behind him provide a few laughs. Ever since Knotts was Barney Fife he was always being cast as comic authority figures. And there's Darren McGavin who has his own ideas about the Dale fortune should be used for.

With so many familiar and talented faces in the cast of Hot Lead And Cold Feet you know it's going to be good. Dale does a wonderful job investing the father and three sons he plays with a certain individuality in each role. This film is still good family entertainment.
