Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels Soundtrack: this is the German dub title for Lo Chiamavano Trinità (English: They Call Me Trinity), the classic 1970 Italian western comedy directed by Enzo Barboni (credited as E.B. Clucher) and starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. The German version, translated as “The Right and the Left Hand of the Devil,” was dubbed in 1971 by Aventin-Film, with Horst Sommer writing and directing the German dialogue. The film is long since released and is now a certified cult classic, so this page focuses on its verified score and tracklist rather than any “coming soon” framing.
As one of the biggest box-office hits in Italian cinema history, They Call Me Trinity is widely considered the origin of the buddy-comedy Spencer/Hill formula that defined the genre through the 1970s and early 1980s. Its blend of slapstick western action and a catchy, whistling theme song became a template the duo (and Franco Micalizzi’s music) would repeat across several sequels and spin-offs.

Who Composed the Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels Soundtrack?
Franco Micalizzi (born December 21, 1939, in Rome) is an Italian composer and conductor best known for his scores for poliziotteschi (Italian crime) films and spaghetti westerns, including the Trinity series. His main theme, “Trinity: Titoli,” is one of the most recognizable cues of the genre — a whistled, guitar-driven march performed with vocalist Annibale Giannarelli and backing from I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni, the vocal ensemble directed by Alessandro Alessandroni (who also provided the whistling heard on many Ennio Morricone scores). One track on the album, “In Due Contro Tutti,” was co-composed with fellow Italian film composers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis.

Correction note: an earlier version of this page listed “Lazy Cowboy” as a 2014 licensed track by “Ray Martin and His Orchestra” from an unrelated compilation. That attribution was incorrect — “Lazy Cowboy” is an original Franco Micalizzi cue that has always been part of the official Lo Chiamavano Trinità soundtrack, confirmed by the same Bandcamp/Discogs reissue tracklist as the rest of the album.
