Sinopsis: Joe Cola-Loca es el héroe, un pistolero abstemio, es decir, que se abstiene de consumir alcohol, y en su lugar toma limonada Cola-Loca. El sobrio Joe llega a un pueblo donde los hombres toman whisky, pelean todo el tiempo, hacen apuestas y se baten a duelo. El dueño del bar y más tarde su hermano perdido son los villanos. A su llegada, Joe encuentra en el bar a un padre evangelista con su hija tratando de hacer que los ebrios pobladores abandonen el acohol. Joe se enfrentará a los villanos, tratando de erradicar el consumo de whisky, junto a la familia evangelista, y promover el consumo de Cola-Loca, que como se encarga de aclarar, es lo que lo mantiene saludable y le da su puntería legendaria (Wikipedia).
Comentario: Delirante parodia de los westerns de Hollywood, con todos los clichés del género: desde la bailarina de saloon con corazón de oro hasta la toma del ocaso para cerrar la historia, pasando por los bandidos enmascarados y los buenos muy buenos contra los malos muy malos. El héroe del título -vestido impecablemente de blanco, de pies a cabeza- desea imponer la limonada, contra el malvado vestido de negro, que bebe whisky en Stetson City…El film fue un éxito crítico en todo el mundo, incluido Estados Unidos, en el momento de su estreno comercial. Los protagonistas masculinos eran estrellas muy populares de la opereta en Praga y la figura femenina, Olga Schoverova, luego se convertiría en la exótica Olinka Berova, la "Brigitte Bardot checoslovaca" (Ciclo de Cine Pop y Psicodélico Checo, Buenos Aires).

Excerpt Summary and review by Rachel Sanders:
The world would be a better place if there were more movies about singing cowboys. Especially if they were all as smart as the1964 Czech new wave film Lemonade Joe. Described as a “horse opera” by its makers, Lemonade Joe is a surprisingly witty and intelligent spoof of the American western.
The film is set in Arizona and opens with a ridiculous and lengthy brawl scene set in the Trigger Whiskey Saloon. The bar is owned by the appropriately named Doug Badman (Rudolf Deyl) and entertainment is provided by a tough dancing girl called Tornado Lou (Kveta Fialova ). When temperance workers Ezra Goodman and his daughter Winnifred (Olga Schoberova) arrive at the bar to preach sobriety, they find themselves in trouble with the local boozers. To the rescue comes Lemonade Joe (Carl Fiala), an effeminately handsome, straight-shooting cowboy with a taste for Kolaloka Lemonade. Joe wins the hearts of both Winnifred and Tornado Lou and he persuades the easily influenced townsfolk that Kolaloka will help them shoot straighter and live better. When Joe later turns out to be a Kolaloka salesman and part owner of the company, his wholesome image becomes a little tarnished, but Winnifred is not deterred. She and Joe work together to transform the town into a teetotaller’s dream.
The true delight in Lemonade Joe is that its cutting social commentary is disguised as pure goofiness. The film’s observations about American marketing and corporate culture are embodied in the ambiguous Joe – is he the all-American hero or just a shameless shill? Although the film was made in the mid-‘60s, many of its jabs are remarkably relevant well over a quarter century later. “What’s good for Kolaloka is good for the law,” declares one character, accurately predicting the relationship between government and corporations in early 21st century America. Villains and heroes learn to work together for the sake of business; depending on your perspective, it’s a heart-warming story or a chilling cautionary tale.
The film is also gorgeous to look at. It’s shot in black and white, but is toned in luscious shades of yellow, pink and blue. Hilarious camerawork is employed in the product shot scenes, which parody American advertising campaigns. The quirky editing in these scenes is often laugh-out-loud funny. .......................
