One of the finest westerns. Texas millionaire hires four tough guys to ride into Mexico and rescue his wife who have been kidnapped by banditos. In addition to Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin we also have Robert Ryan and Woody Strode on the posse. Everybody is tough. All sorts of firearms, Colt revolvers, 1911 automatics. Lewis guns, Winchesters, 1903 Springfield rifles, machine guns, shotguns. Lot's of good one liners. "Hey Gringo, where did the bullet bit you? In the ass." "You bastard. With me an accident of birth, but you sir are a self made man." Claudia Cardinale plays the very sexy kidnapped wife. I first saw it down at Keesler AFB when I first joined the Air Force right out of college in 1964. The troops loved it.
