Overview

In the 1870s, two rival businessmen, Zack Thomas and Joe Jarrett, on a stagecoach heading to Galveston, Texas, must pull together to protect $100,000 from an outlaw named Matson. Once in Galveston, however, their rivalry continues, as Thomas joins up with Elya Carlson and Jarret with Maxine Richter. But Matson is still on the loose, and a scheming banker threatens both Thomas and Jarrett.

Viewing Notes

Stumbled on this title by accident when I was looking up more Bronson films at my library (for my Bronson project). Had never heard of it but a Frank Sinatra / Dean Martin western w/Bronson as the bad guy?! Hell the hell yes.

Fun romp with Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress in supporting roles. Hell the hell yes. And my goddess does Ursula look incredible. Damn fine. Pretty corny story but fun all the same with tons of great character actors like Richard Jaeckel and Mike Mazurki. I almost fell out of my chair when The Three Stooges show up! Dopey good times but not enough Bronson. At least he has a great character to play.

But damn, Ursula.
