Great poster from a great film. I used to like the one with the criss-crossed bandoliers of bullets. - i think that was on the LP cover?

Lancaster and Marvin were prolifically busy in the 60s, weren't they! Ultra-professionals!

This was the one El Bruco descibed as having too much Mexican-flavoured music in the soundtrack!

Ha, an easy one. A favourite western of the sixties, a great Jarre score (I wonder if they ever found the album tapes?), & a very nice looking Blu-ray.

but when I saw the film on TV some years later I thought: Was that it? and found it very disappointing. I like most of these stars and maybe one day I should try watching it again (if so: it joins a very long list  )

I had that same reaction after I hadn't seen the movie for many years during the '70s, then finally caught it again around 1979 on a late night broadcast. It seemed over just as it was starting, but since then, I've bought it on laserdisc (a Pioneer Special Edition, if I recall) and then DVD and then Blu-ray. It's a movie that's not wonderful because of its story, which is thin and unlikely, but rather its attitude and energy, dialogue, and the mood, photography and score (I've had the CD of the original LP for years). Also it's stars, all at their very best, as is its director. I also have an affinity for desert movies and love the American southwest, so this is one of my top five favorite westerns. The more you watch it, the better it gets.
