Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed in Mexico.
- GoofsTwo silver dollars play a part in this film. It is explained that they are "1794 Silver Dollars, the first from the US Mint." However what is actually displayed in the movie is the reverse side of a US silver dollar known as the Morgan Dollar, after its designer, George Morgan. This dollar was not minted until 1878 (Actually 1878-1904 and 1921.) Therefore, actual 1794 dollar coins were not shown.
- Quotes
Maria O'Reilly: Do you know that every time you look at me, I feel like I am running around without any clothes on?
Brad Ellison: Gonna get mighty chilly when the sun goes down.

What Men Look For In Mexico
People come to Mexico for different things. Lorne Greene came for a ranch and a daughter, Linda Cristal, and has both. Gilbert Roland came for the gold in the mountains. He never found any, but works for Greene. Jock Mahoney comes at the behest of Carl Benton Reid and the $25,000 he promises; it will mean a ranch for Mahoney, an end to his life as a gunslinger, a dying profession. All he has to do is find Reid's brother, who went to Mexico years ago and disappeared. Everyone says he is dead, his body buried somewhere in the hills. But some one keeps shooting at Mahoney. That means the man can be found.
It's a sad, elegiac movie, among the best that George Sherman directed, even if Paul Frees' voice keeps popping up. He's aided enormously by Alex Phillips' beautiful images of the Mexican land beneath a blue sky. Phillips was born in Canada, became a cameraman for the Christies in the 1920. Then in 1931 he moved to Mexico and spent the rest of his life there, occasionally returning to the United States for jobs. Judging by the images here, he loved the country. He died in 1977, aged 76.
