Film Pairings: They Call Me Trinity

Welcome to, what I call, Film Pairings! Similar to the way a glass of wine can be paired with certain foods, I want to provide some movie pairing ideas. The difference between wine pairings and my movie pairings is that unlike wine parings, I have a specific reason for why a certain dish should be served with a particular film - namely, the fact that that dish was featured in the film. I know it's very simplistic, but I intend on getting more creative as time goes on.

They Call Me Trinity/104min./1970: It's a very odd little comedy starring Terrence Hill, as Trinity, a fast as lightening, gun-slinging cowboy. Although there are a few different "Trinity" movies that star Terrence Hill as the same character, but not always with the same name, I want to focus on They Call Me Trinity for one reason - the opening scene. In this scene Trinity scarfs down an amazing looking pile of beans. He looks so hungry, that no matter how much food you've just eaten, you all of a sudden start to feel hungry again, starring at this lovely plate of beans. Although there isn't much to the dish, I enjoyed the fact that Terrence Hill found it important to include the "recipe" on his "Official International" website. Here's what he calls for, word for word:

For the sauce you need chili peppers, olive oil, tomato sauce, onions, salt and a lot of pepper! Fry the onions in olive oil in a saucepan, add the remaining ingredients and cook until the beans are tender. It should be spicy!
