This is a great 70's outlaw western starring Gregory Peck and Desi Arnaz Jr.It's a must see!!! Please Put On dvd!!!

A lot of western movie fans may not know this Great Western was filmed in Israel, but it was---Great scenic shots, great "western" looking country', a great cast, Gregory Peck, Desi Arnaz, Jr., Jack Warden, David Huddleston, etal.----just a great story plot---they don't make many westerns today as good as this one was ! ! !

I love this movie as I am a Gregory Peck fan. Also, I am a fan of Desi Arnaz. I love movies about the American Indian so I liked the actors in this movie and the story. It is a VHS and I wish it could be made in DVD.

I purchased this DVD at Amazon and as usual it arrived on time and in perfect condition. I'm always happy with Amazon. I couldn't find this DVD in any stores but I was sure if it was available Amazon would have it.

I saw this on TV last week, and thought Gregory Peck and young Desi Jr, did a great job, I was surprised, I wasn't aware, Desi Jr. was diverse, this was a different roll, so I was impressed, would love to know what he thinks about it, all these years later. wish it would come on DVD. I would be first in line.

I watched this clunker on TV a few days ago and was curious about Desi, Jr. and his ability to act. I know next to nothing about how or why this piece of tripe was created squandering the talents of a man like Gregory Peck by putting him up against Desi, Jr., a kid way out of his depth. It is almost impossible to watch as it is a tired and limp Hardy family story maquerading as a western. Suspending belief in a movie was never so hard as the action is ludicrous and the plot stupidity challenges the intellect. Peck grows a real beard and looks tired (Ithought he was saying to himself, "what am I doing in this turkey of a movie?"), and Desi tries to impersonate Tom Mclaughlin's "Billy Jack" (half breed good guy) character without the King Fu. What can I say? I looked for some significance or message in the film and found nothing to stimulate even slightly my waning interest as Desi outwits a bungling sheriff and his Sancho Panza like "deputy." Maybe this is an allegorical tale and Peck is Moses leading Billy out of the desert...whatever. Only buy this movie if you are curious about what Desi, Jr. did with his pre-emptive movie career before he hit the skids. Where is he now?
