I think another reviewer for the film here got it right, it's got the trademarks of a spaghetti Western but may not suffice for the casual viewer. I felt the recurring double crosses got tedious after a while and the story lasted a lot longer than it needed to in order to get to the final resolution. I've seen enough of these European Westerns to realize the circus elements are par for the course but even so, it was a little distracting to see that marching band come through town and the principal characters ride past an assemblage of colorful blocks in the middle of the desert - what were they supposed to be? I've seen the Hill-Spencer team up in a couple of other films ( "Boot Hill", "God Forgives...I Don't") and I just don't see the chemistry. Eli Wallach is your main reason for tuning in here, and he's a pretty endearing sort of outlaw except that one time when he said "I spit on your mother".
