CarlHoliday 3,250 Posted January 19 The 1973 comedy Western film The Brothers O'Toole takes place in the fictional Colorado mining town of Molybdenum, Colorado. The citizens of town mispronounce the name of the town as "Molly B'Damn" because all of their stock certificates in the failed mine are worth less than the paper they're printed on. The movie stars John Astin as Michael O'Toole a gambler and con man, and the outlaw "Desperate" Ambrose Littleberry; Pat Carroll as the spinster Callie Burdyne; and Lee Meriwether as Desperate's violent girlfriend. Michael O'Toole's younger brother is played by Wikipedia unknown Steve Carlson (see IMDb.com for information). 3 Link to comment
