Kirk Douglas was never funny, Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't be funny even unwillingly, still Kirk Douglas'horse, Whisky, is a bit funny. Monument Valley is stunning and so is Ann-Margret, and I'd give the film 2 just for the sake of that, but the total is so embarrassing to watch that it just won't do. This is one of the least funny comedies with a quite big budget ever made. It's an expensive mistake. I tried for some time but ended up winding through just to watch a bit more of Ann-Margret. When screenwriters,directors and actors who are not funny and amusing try to be, it never is funny or amusing. It's just annoying. I'd rather watch Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies for the rest of my time on this earth than to see this movie all the way through. It really is painful to see good money and talent wasted on something like this, and it would have been better just to help some poor people or perhaps cancel the whole project in the beginning, make real western with a good plot, with the same crew, and Schwarzenegger as the bad guy. That might just have been a success.
