This circa 1968 horse opera lacks the violence that was in vogue in most American Westerns of that time (thanks to the immediate success of the Spaghetti variety and Peckinpah's WILD BUNCH). This film is actually a somewhat gentle study of post-civil-war brothers who've drifted apart but want to maintain loyalty to each other. Stewart and Dean Martin are less-than-convincing as the brothers, but Martin holds his own with Jimmy playing up the sentimentality and romance. Raquel Welch is simply window dressing here, astonishingly attractive, but still just scenery as the love interest. She plays it with a self-indulgent Mexican accent that is sultry and amusing. The supporting cast is top-notch as these things go, and Jerry Goldsmith wrote one of his more jaunty themes for the title track. The new Fox DVD is crisp with well-saturated color and a surprisingly directional matrixed stereo soundtrack, livening up immensely Mr. Goldsmith's contribution.
