[TheDinikin]

I remember as a squaw ( i mean indian woman) got out of the water. I watched in the cinema, I was seven. It was one of my first meetings with erotica.

[vincentyeo88]

aha! you were naughty, eh?

[fellinian]

The indian squaw was Julie Newmar

@TheDinikin HAHAHAHA... Exactly the same here!!! One of the reasons why i remember the movie actually!! LOL

Read this book when I was a kid, the novel is 10 times as good as the movie. But the movie holds a special place with me as well & I enjoy it a LOT. One of my sentimental favorites.

[vincentyeo88]

this is a great movie, no doubt about that.

but i can't comment on the novel 'coz i haven't read it yet.

[dapoetmaster]

U can find it on E-Bay highly recommended read. Written by WIll Henry, it's probably one of the best western novels I've ever read & it is way WAY more intense than the film.

ALso, in the novel, the character of Colorado is actually described as a bald headed Mexican that looks a lot like Telly Savalas which is weird because everytime I see the film I wish Savalas had played the Mexican role which seems strange but would have been an interesting portrayal.

Omar Sharif was the popular actor at that time and i guess he'd got that leading role but not Savalas.

i have a few friends here who run bookshops downtown selling used books and i might want to look for that novel. i know eBay is the way to go for used books and other items 'coz i am selling my collectible stuff on eBay Singapore.

@tonymink2004

back in the early 1970s, there was a blockbuster Western movie called, Kill Them All And Come Back Alone, starring Chuck Conners and Peter Finch.

i can't find this movie on DVD and if you know of any website that has any clip of it, please let me know. i really miss this movie even though i had watch it twice in the cinema in those early years.

Omar Sharif, John Colorado great Mexican Bandit !

[Nimloth2]

This is my all time favourite western!

[titu4u68]

my father talked a great about this legend movie when i was child. for the fist time I saw it in cinema hall was somewhere around 1989 when i was an adult. By-God, that was the happiest day of my life. I truly love this movie. Gregory Peck, Telly Savalas... the greatest stars hollywood could ever have.

The Mummy is almost a direct copy of this movie. While both have their merits, I prefer this one.

[vincentyeo88]

right, nothing beats this for a Western movie.

[lilynick1]

I remember watching this as a kid. One of my favourites!

[vincentyeo88]

i'd watched this movie twice when it was screened at a local cinema.

that cost me almost all my pocket money for the week!
