(1970) Cannon for Cordoba
WESTERN
The set up is like 30 minutes, and it involves a radical extremist Mexican General Cordoba (Raf Vallone) and his group of bandits successfully stealing six cannons from a train that made the mistake stopping by at a Mexican town headed toward the border. And with many soldiers either killed and injured, Captain Roderick Douglas (George Peppard) is then given instructions by his superior new orders. The first is to go undercover and locate the six cannons before destroying them, so that they would not be used against them. And then second order is to capture Cordoba alive so that he can face charges. And he does this with the help of his team, Jackson (Don Gordon), Andy (Peter Duel) and Peter (Nico Minardos). Two other people come to join his group as well of LT. Antonio Gutierrez (Gabriele Tinti) and Senorita Leonora Cristobal (Giovanna Ralli).
I did not care for the end of this movie, as well I did not care about the subplot regarding Jackson for not forgiving Douglas letting his brother shot and killed by Cordoba's men. I mean, why didn't Jackson direct his anger toward the person who committed the act. Douglas stopped him from saving him because between him and Jackson they were very much outnumbered, and that he himself would have gotten killed as well.
