This offbeat Euro-Western based on Louis L’Amour novel concerns about Shalako (Sean Connery) whose Indian name means \u00a8he who brings rain\u00a8 . He’s an US scout cowboy who intervenes to save European aristocrats on a hunting journey in New Mexico when they are attacked by Apaches circa 1880 .<\/p>\n
This is a British Western set in Almeria (Spain) where in the 60s and 70s were filmed numerous Westerns , Shalako is a high budget but poorly directed . The gun-play , Indian attacks , shootouts are gripping but the movie is just another cold British product . Violent scenes abound as the attempt violation and murder of Honor Blackman . The casting is frankly magnificent but the film gets and incredible waste of a talented cast like happens with Sean Connery , though the first choice by the producers was Henry Fonda . There appears various main actors and secondaries usual in Western genre . Gorgeous Brigitte Bardot who played with Jeanne Moreau \u00a8Viva Maria\u00a8 and with Claudia Cardinale \u00a8The legend of Frenchie King\u00a8 . Stephen Boyd played Western as \u00a8Hanna Coulder\u00a8 and \u00a8The Bravados\u00a8 . Woody Strode at one of his habitual Indian roles as \u00a8Winterhawk\u00a8 , \u00a8Loaded gun\u00a8 , \u00a8The Gatlin gun\u00a8 ,\u00a8Keoma\u00a8 , \u00a8Once upon a time..\u00a8 . Julian Mateos , a famed Spanish actor , player in US Western as well as Spaghetti as \u00a8Hellbenders\u00a8 , \u00a8Four rode out\u00a8 , \u00a8Catlow\u00a8 , \u00a8Return of seven magnificent\u00a8 . Honor Blackman , pairing with Sean Connery in \u00a8Goldfinger\u00a8 , here also makes love in a straw loft , this time with Stephen Boyd . Ernie Sykes playing a servant like in \u00a8The others\u00a8 and Don Red Barry from Republic Pictures serial , \u00a8Adventures of Red Ryder\u00a8.<\/p>\n
Lively and spectacular musical score by Robert Farnon . Colorful cinematography by Ted Moore , he’s the cameraman of most classic period James Bond : \u00a8Diamonds are forever\u00a8 , \u00a8Goldfinger\u00a8 , \u00a8From Russia with love\u00a8.. The motion picture is regularly directed by Edward Dmytryck who made \u00a8Alvarez Kelly\u00a8 , \u00a8 Warlock\u00a8 , \u00a8Broken Lance\u00a8, \u00a8Raintree County\u00a8 . For somebody is a monumental bore but I think is a fairly watchable European Western , nothing more . Succeeds only in waste a lot of talented actors , for Brigitte Bardot only .<\/p>\n
