John C A western with Dean Martin, Brian Keith, Honor Blackman (as a blonde, no less!), Ben Johnson, Denver Pyle. Stunts by Hal Needham, song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, score by Marvin Hamlisch! How did I miss this?? On paper, it's a sure fire win. In reality, it's a droll, slow, humorless miss. I'm actually perplexed how a director and screen writer could mess this up. It's the Xanadu of westerns. Cinematography and costumes were beautiful. Acting wasn't bad given the material. I guess it's like putting all the nest ingredients in a stew and still coming up with garbage, because the recipe just isn't any good. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Robert M I thought it was well done. Not slapstick. All the actors did a great job.. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is pure gold. It is one of the last "modern" classic westerns where the heroes never die. The plot is laid out early in the first 8 minutes. The only movies that I can compare this movie is "Cowboys and Aliens" and "My Name Is Nobody" because of the comedy that is interwoven with the plot. If you like Westerns, then this is one that you won't regret watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review SICKS6SIX I like westerns but don't like comedies as a rule because not many people are funny, Peter Sellers, Cooke & Moore and the likes of are now long gone, but this film morphs the west and comedy well, it is a farce of a film with some big names, it's in the mould of aeroplane, a good way to spend nearly 2 hours of any day, it's on YouTube, it's in colour and widescreen so no letterbox image to annoy you, the dialogue is so ham cheese & bread rolls were handed out at cinemas while on general release but all the actors deliver their lines with complete professionalism and never snigger, well almost never, there must be a lot of out-takes on the editing room floor from this film, There's a job from the past, cleaning up spliced celluloids from the editing room floor since everything was digitized, I score this film a good 78% It is better than Disney's Pistol but not as good as the first three terminator films, the other dozen or so terminator films are not as good as this film IMO (In My Opinion) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/22 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, love Dean Martin.
