La carovana dell'alleluia (1965)
Un commerciante di Denver intende rifornire la città di whisky in vista del lungo e rigido inverno, organizzando una carovana di rifornimenti ad alto contenuto alcolico. Protetta dai soldati, la carovana deve vedersela con i Sioux, in cerca di "acqua di fuoco", e con le agguerrite componenti della Lega della Temperanza, ben decise a fermare mariti e uomini in genere dal consumare queste bevande del diavolo. Come se non bastasse, l'intervento della milizia cittadina decisa a difendere ad oltranza le preziose bottiglie aggiunge altra confusione alla situazione già fuori controllo. Una commedia brillante che strappa risate dall'inizio alla fine. Liberamente ispirato al romanzo di William Gulick, La carovana dell'alleluja è un film western con situazioni di ogni tipo, una sapiente mescolanza d'avventura, tratti ironici e divertenti.
