Rating:  - It Stinks
This was an all European production based on a Louis Lamour novel and that's the most decent thing I can say. Well, to be fair Connery does acquite himself well as a western hero. Everyone else is truly wasted. An oddity as a film at best.

Rating: - The worst film in which Conery worked !
Shalako was a film that gathered all the elements to be a master Western, a fabulous cast and an emblematic director as Dymytryk , but that lacked of the basi factor that makes a good movie, a believable script.

While not even remotely on the level of Monte Hellman's stuff, "Shalako" is an entertaining ... Read More
Rating:  - Cool Bardot Western
What is more retro-cool than watching a late 60's western starring
Brigette Bardot and Sean Connery?
A European Hunting party gets trapped out west and surrounded by
Indians. Connery attempts to move them to safety. This is an
intense serious drama that is eerily realistic at times.
You feel a sense of dread as this hunting party gets deeper and
deeper into trouble.
Bardot looks stunning, and brings her natural charisma to the film
