Shalako (1968)
4/10
A waste of time and talent!
10 July 2004
Much as I appreciate Sean Connery and adore Brigitte Bardot, this is a bore-fest. Even Stephen Boyd (died too young) in black villain clothes couldn't save this mess from the trashcan. Jack Hawkins (wonderful actor) and some other snobs on a meaningless quest that goes nowhere fast. Bardot was already tired of acting and Connery was almost done with the Bond series.

Westerns were beginning to die out by 1968 (thanks to stuff like this). A decent script might have helped. Don't waste your time with this turkey. I've never seen a cast so out of synch with each other. There's really nothing to recommend about this, except BB looks great in her riding outfit.
