One of the finest old school westerns made back in 1954 and running but 94 minutes.The only issue is the story is out there and thus 1 star off,but the acting !!! Burt Lancaster as Joe Erin and Gary Cooper as Benjamin Trane head a "A" list cast is a sprawling story of drifting americans who go to make some money south of the boarder in Mexico or as IMDB puts it,
During the Mexican Rebellion of 1866, an unsavory group of American adventurers are hired by the forces of Emperor Maximilian to escort a countess to Vera Cruz.
Double cross and revolution and honor reign in a story like they don't make anymore. It is said that the opening scenes have inspired "spaghetti westerns"be that as it may be,I like the interaction between bad guy Joe with his twisted code of honor and good guy Ben with his just defeated southern manners and the bi play between them that you know will come to show down sooner or later.MUST see for western fans.
