ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Sean Connery, Brigitte Bardot, Jack Hawkins, Stephen Boyd, Honor Blackman, Eric Sykes, Victor French,

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

Best viewed now for the curiosities of its casting Shalako is an intriguing western from the late sixties when westerns were slowly going out of vogue. Sean Connery headlines as a cowboy hired to show a group of European big game hunters the sites however trouble flares when the Indians decide to have a little fun.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

Theres not many westerns where you can find Eric Sykes, Brigitte Bardot and Sean Connery all sharing screen space, this movie though, based on the novel by western legend Louis L’Amour is idiosyncratic to say the least, jam packed with well known names (Jack Hawkins appears in one of his last movies his voice dubbed by a soundalike as the throat cancer that killed him had by that stage fully taken hold).

Bardot of course is gorgeous, here in her prime, Connery though seems a little unsure of his place in the movie.

A curio that’s worth seeing if only for the strangeness of its casting and the Brigitte Bardot washing by the river scene.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

No extras.
