Shalako ★★ 1968

Connery/Bardot pairing promises something special, but fails to deliver. European aristocrats on a hunting trip in New Mexico, circa 1880, are menaced by Apaches. U.S. Army scout tries to save captured countess Bardot. Strange British attempt at a Eurowestern. Poorly directed and pointless. Based on a Louis L'Amour story. 113m/C VHS, DVD . Brigitte Bardot, Sean Connery, Stephen Boyd, Honor Blackman, Woody Strode, Alexander Knox; D: Edward Dmytryk; W: Scot (Scott) Finch, James J. Griffith, Hal Hopper, Clarke Reynolds; C: Ted Moore; M: Robert Farnon.
