"I'll make it worth your while." "I don't see no pockets in that blanket." "I wasn't talking about money." "Well, I'll be damned. You do want somebody killed bad, don't you?" Fun Fact: This movie is considered to be a loose remake of Gunslinger (1956). Casting Notes Fact: In his seven-decade career, this was Sir Christopher Lee's only Western. Stephen Boyd made a brief, uncredited appearance as the gunfighter simply known as The Preacher. The Rest Of The Story Fact: Rodd Redwing, a fast-draw artist, was a Technical Advisor and worked with Robert Culp on this movie. Redwing suffered a heart attack on the plane returning from filming in Spain and died shortly after landing in Los Angeles, California. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Bailey (Sir Christopher Lee) makes Hannie (Raquel Welch) an English Tranter self-cocking revolver. It was invented by William Tranter (1816-1890) in 1856. As mentioned, this first model had two triggers: the lower one to turn the cylinder and cock the hammer and the other one to fire the weapon. The one in the film appears to be a cap and ball model in 54-bore (.442 caliber). The second version of this pistol had a single trigger like most double-action revolvers since.
And why wasn't I notified of this magnificence? Just popped into my feed! Anyway, not heard of this before, quite a cast so I'm guessing it's good. May have to watch for this one. I agree about the imagery, thank you as always for the video and commentary

Was very surprised to see Christopher Lee in this film.

As always, thank you for the support
I’d never heard of this one, Irish Guy, despite the loaded cast. Pretty standard western fare, actually, but worth watching. Thanks.
Agree, not the greatest film in the genre.
Raquel Welch`s better western is called " 100 Rifles " with Jim Brown, Bert Reynolds, Fernando Lamas. Mexican 1st nations vs Mexican/ Spanish rulers.
Thanks for the recommendation 👍
