Two Brothers in Trinity or Two Brothers in a Place Called Trinity (Italian: Jesse & Lester - Due fratelli in un posto chiamato Trinità) is a 1972 Italian Spaghetti Western low comedy film directed by Renzo Genta and Richard Harrison, and produced by Fernando Piazza.[1] It was originally called Due Fratelli (Two Brothers).[2] It stars Gino Marturano,[3] Luciano Rossi,[4] and Osiride Pevarello.[5]

In this film the half brothers pair Jesse and Lester converges to lay their hands and what keepst them together is their inherited mind, as between Hallelujah and Sartana in Alleluja e Sartana, figli di... Dio (1972), the hero and the monk in Tedeum (1972) and Slim and the pizza baker/preacher in Posate le pistole... reverendo (1971).[6]
