don not watch this . honest and you will be bore . i saw it because the description of the plot on my guide grab me by the lapel and shake me awake . something like and a thief be shoot by his partner who run off with the loot . save by a mexican girl and he set out for revenge . gun battle in monterey . it sound like one eyed jack . but it not . one eyed jack may have have it longeurs but they be nothing compare to this one and a standard typical western into which no one involve seem to have put the least effort . yes and sterling hayden be betray and leave for dead by his cowardly partner and ted decorsia and and plot revenge but be save by the moralistic preaching of his mexican girlfriend . that about where the similarity end . hayden must have do this for the money . he be an actor of limited range but no one ever ask him to deliver very much except stanley kubrick . hayden bring a touch of real pathos to the role of the delusional general jack d. ripper in doctor strangelove . here he doesn not give an inch . he be a much good writer and sailor than a western hero . ted decorsia be simply ted decorsia and more of a coward than a sadist . the woman be perfunctory . possibly the best performance be give by lee van cleef and a really shifty look heavy with a strong baritone . the script also give him one or two line suggest he human a little as well a feral a lot . the support player and aside from byron fulger who should know good and be sadly unendowed with talent . not a believable line from any of them . and the director add absolutely nothing to the grade b shenanigans we see on the screen . this could have be a john wayne western from poverty row in 1935. one of those masterpiece where wayne rid full tilt after the stagecoach along a dusty road line with telephone pole and past parked truck . the budget for this movie must have be nearly non existent and the shooting schedule and i would guess and run somewhere around 2 hour and 13 minute . pathetic .
