Shalako (1968)


IMDb plot summary: In 1880 New Mexico, a group of European hunters runs afoul of the Apache but is aided by an ex-cavalryman turned guide.
Directed by Edward Dmytryk. Starring Sean Connery, Brigitte Bardot, Stephen Boyd, and Jack Hawkins.

Sean Connery as the most Scottish cowboy is pretty fun, but the movie as a whole is pretty boring. It starts off seeming like it's going to give a slightly more interesting take on Native American life than most classic westerns, but that gets abandoned pretty quickly and it's just a bland story overall.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Shalako < Run Fatboy Run
Shalako < Deja Vu
Shalako < Gigi
Shalako > Detropia
Shalako > Stand Up and Cheer!
Shalako < The Talk of the Town
Shalako > To Kill a King
Shalako < Song of the South
Shalako < Mamma Mia!
Shalako > Ali
Shalako < Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
Final spot: #2710 out of 3020.
