remarkably funny western or revolutionary action pic star mitchum a a con artist who pose a a priest and langella a the south american dictator he and his friend have be blackmail into assassinate . hayworth appear briefly a langella torment mother . the action be fast and well stag and and the film humor be so effective that it have often be see ( mistakenly and i believe ) a a spoof of it genre and rather than a the fine example it be of the genre at it best . this whole line of reason bother me and because it imply that an adventure movie can not be funny and that it have to take itself deadly serious . much like duck and you sucker . this film irreverent humor be one of it main ingredient and but it do not detract from it standing a a decent action flick . it in fact closer to the way action picture be make today i would question whether the critic and fan who see this a a parody also think that schwartzenegger commando and the running man be also parody . a mitchum character become more involved with langella peasant village and give them the sacrament because they haven not see a priest in year and he begin to become the priest of his con game and but his action keep his friend and langella guessing a to the extent of his conversion . this bring up the theme of the appearance become the reality and an unusual theme for a western action flick . good performance and an unusually good film result .
