Yes indeed, it's the audience who ultimately decides what is a good film and what is not, and if it's not the box office at the time of release, it's in the late 80's or later on home video, and ultimately on streaming. This is a forgotten Charles Bronson film where he's the owner of an inn on the beaches of Peru, post World War II, where Nazi treasure is being sought and people are willing to kill for it, and even take the risk of being killed. The story gets stretched out a bit, and the film isn't really all that long. In the last part, a parrot that Bronson seeks to get info from steals the film.
The exotically beautiful Dominique Sanda is one of those people willing to risk everything, as are her wealthy former lover Jason Robards, young adventurer Simon McCorkindale, and older grizzled adventurer types Raf Vallone and silent screen hunk Gilbert Roland. Definitely a popcorn film, serving the purpose for which it was made, to entertain even with clichéd characters that seem straight out of a late 40's Warner Brothers adventure. But not "Casablanca", although I could see Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreey popping up in this. Definitely a fun old fashioned film that kept my attention with beautiful scenery and plenty of action.
