Viewing Notes
Curiously out-of-touch with modern values, this comes across as a creaky studio vehicle that would have been better-suited for the late 1950s or early 1960s, though it features bloody violence, profanity, and fleeting (male dorsal) nudity.
Still, Robert Mitchum is lively as a gun-toting priest in 1920s Mexico, and Ken Hutchison (one of the rapists in STRAW DOGS) makes for an engaging lead player. Rita Hayworth makes her last film appearance, young Frank Langella hams it up, one-eyed Gregory Sierra is evil, Victor Buono is Victor Buono.
It’s well-staged by Ralph Nelson, and worthwhile to watch for the performances.
