Plot Summary
Somewhere in the vicinity of the dusty Arizona burg of Integrity lies a fortune in stolen gold, buried at a desert waterhole by three confederates. Zeroing in on the hidden wealth is conniving gambler Lewton Cole (James Coburn), who's armed with a promising map, riding a stolen horse, and pursued by a less-than-law-abiding sheriff (Carroll O'Connor). And adding to the greed, corruption and lawlessness is a wonderfully misfit collection of additional treasureseekers, including the original thieves and an Army cavalry troop— all intent on claiming the loot. Will they all converge on Waterhole #3 at the same moment? Margaret Blye, Bruce Dern, Claude Akins, Joan Blondell, James Whitmore and Timothy Carey also star in this boisterous Western comedy that rolls through the rowdy Old West like a prairie twister.
Customer Reviews
Wild and Politically Incorrect comedy-western from Blake Edwards and James Coburn
One of the best comedy westerns of the 1960s and there were a lot of good ones. Coburn, as usual, was perfect as a lovable scoundrel. Carroll O'Connor had one of his best roles before he became Archie Bunker. "The Code of the West" ballad by Roger Miller (King of the Road) was perfectly laced thrououghout the movie. Great one-liners throughout. Much of the movie easy to transfer to the present as political satire..If you like Coburn, comedy, satire or Blake Edwards movies...you will probably love this movie.
