Dean martin and brian keith.... in a western? Who knew ?? Martin was known for his act with jerry lewis, and his detective films. And keith was uncle bill on "family affair". With the modern peppy music at the start, this seems to be a modern take on old westerns. All tongue in cheek, with some humor. Brian keith is colonel baker, trying to keep the peace in the old west. But when his wife is kidnapped, he goes looking for her. But baker has her, and wants to trade her for a gatling gun. More happy go lucky music when they knock over the stagecoach. Silly, wacky bar brawls. But the deal doesn't quite go as planned. It never does. But all's well that end's well. Appearances by joyce van patten, merlin olsen, and denver pyle, from dukes of hazzard. Directed by andrew mclaglen, who worked with john wayne on so many films! Story by james barrett. It's good, but it didn't need to be almost two hours. They must have picked up other bits from the cutting room floor and added them into this film!
