Go To

A 1966 American Western Comedy directed by Michael Gordon that has a woman (Rosemary Forsyth) laying low after her fiance (Alain Delon) is forced on the run.

The movie also stars Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Tina Aumont, Peter Graves, Michael Ansara, Linden Chiles, Andrew Prine, Roy Barcroft, George D. Wallace, and Don Beddoe.

It was released on October 26, 1966.


Tropes for the film:

  • Overly Long Name: Don Andrea introduces himself as Don Andrea Baldazar, el Duque de la Casala. Sam Hollis replies, "And what do folks in a hurry call you?" before deciding to dub him "Baldy". In the real world he'd probably be known as mostly as Casala.
  • Tagline: "A swinging fun-romp that fractures the frontier!".
  • The Unintelligible: Captain Stimpson is capable of speaking normally, but whenever he issues a command, it sounds like, "Haroo, har!". His soldiers invariably follow the command, despite themselves being unable to understand what he's saying.
  • Worthless Yellow Rocks: The movie has a running joke about how finding oil on land makes it worthless. Can't raise cattle on ground poisoned with the stuff!
