Trailer Unavailable














     Shalako
1968  PG  WESTERN  1h 53min

MUSIC— Robert Farnon  DIRECTOR— Edward Dmytryk  BASED ON—Shalako (novel), by Louis L’Amour

     Here’s a curio. A Western starring 007 himself, Sean Connery. He plays an ex-Army colonel in the old West who runs into a group of European adventurers out for a hunt. The problem is that they’re breaking a treaty made with the Apaches to stay off of their land and the Natives are none too happy. Connery sets out to protect this group of pompous lay-abouts from a fierce assault, if only they would take these “savages” seriously. Okay actioner with a moderate level of suspense; just don’t expect any award-winning performances.
OUR RATING— ** ½
