Mediocre at best. There's not one memorable scene in this movie. Its story is predictable and shallow: no dilemmas, no tragic, no profound love, no motives, no insight into politics or society. People are stereotypes with no credible background story. Their motives are unclear. They look too clean. The only anti-hero type and credible figure at all is maybe Dean Martin who plays an ex-drunkard who gets a second chance (sic!) (oh and he sings beautifully - he's THE Dean Martin after all). The violence is not realistic. Gunfights are just not what an actual gun fight looks like. Sometimes it has a strange comedy feel too it - but that's certainly not what the director intended. Mediocre score. Not a stretch of that presumably wonderful dessert scenery is shown.

The movie IS a comedy. An episodic-like hangout movie. The director didn't try to make a serious western with a message, like say, High Noon or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance . <br /> <br /> And criticizing the gunfight in westerns for being unrealistic is so stupid.
