Andrew Y Hugely disappointing. No redeeming feature. Lazy film making……… Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Aldo G John Wayne's long-time cinematographer, William H. Clothier, they worked on 22 films together, is the star of this picture as the story is sparse and the film was considered a "filler" by the studio, Warner Bros. But, If you like Westerns, you'll like Clothier's work. He puts the wide screen canvas to great use. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review Ron T This film brings together some of John Wayne's favorite costars telling an entertaining western story that's pure fun to watch. Friends plus a smarter than she looks Ann Margaret make you feel at home, Ricardo Montalban being mysterious, and a nameless faceless gang keep you guessing and remind us why we keep watching John Wayne movies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review Shadowman4710 One of John Wayne's late entries into the Western genre and while it's not one of his best, it's not one of the worst either. The highlight of course is the scenery, both the spectacular Mexican countryside and a 30 year old Anne Margaret. Short on action, and long on sweeping shots, this as much of his later westerns is a commentary on getting older. Wayne was 20 years old for the role but he provides his usual gravitas and is well served by a very good supporting cast, particularly by Christopher George, Ben Johnson, and Rod Taylor. A big weak spot is the lack of a clear cut villain. The "Pall Bearers" are a nameless, faceless gang of pursuers whose motivations are pretty one note. Still, while not a great film, it's a must see for John Wayne fans. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Audience Member The Duke and a strong supporting cast make this a fun western adventure. Like most of John Wayne's westerns it has a nice blend of action and humor. The scenery is great and that is not just referring to Ann-Margret. It has a rousing musical score by Dominic Frontieri. I also like the way it ends. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this film once again from my youth, wish it were better but its just not that good a movie. Mostly boring talking, generic action, long shots of the desert. OK it nothing else is on and Ann-Margaret is in her prime.
