Ass-breaker Dingus Magee is looking for a gold train when he comes upon old acquaintance Hoke Birdsill on stage to San Francisco, and robs him of his money. Hoke goes to the nearby town of Yerkey's Hole, where Belle Knops is both mayor and bordello-mistress. She appoints Hoke Town Sheriff and tries to get him to stir up the Indians so the soldiers at the nearby fort (the main customers) won't go to Little Big Horn. Dingus tries to stir up more trouble and get involved with the pale, baby-talking Indian, Anna. The film is a send-up of the oft-repeated phrase "the Code of the West" and exaggerates it and what it stands for into the ridiculousness that it is.

Such a frustrating disappointment

PodBill

Just what I expected

Crwthod

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Portia Hilton

Blistering performances.

As l said before Sinatra is bad actor,but not unprovided of charisma,in this picture he bring a huge cast to share a silly but enjoyable western comedy of two dumb crooks,actually George Kennedy stolen the movie for your brilliant performance,a plenty of gorgeous woman raise to much especially the indiscreet Lois Nettleton as Prudence Frost and odd guys like Jack Elam and Harry Carey Jr. given the colors lights to the movie....delightful and silly but funny a little dated for nowadays.Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

Director Burt Kennedy does not seem to be related to lead George Kennedy. George won an Oscar for Cool Hand Luke, but D.D.M. was three years later, and a whole different film! This one is a corn-ball western. Hoke Birdsill (G. Kennedy) spends the whole movie chasing after Dingus Magee (Sinatra), after somehow letting Sinatra rob him and escape twice. Magee has goofy run-ins with the injuns, and Birdsill is deputized by the mayor (Anne Jackson), who also happens to run the local "cat-house". Some fun dirty jokes in here, but the plot itself is as dry as the sandy desert they are crossing. The usual show-downs and shoot-outs. The grand finale ending is pretty funny. Did you notice Jack Elam playing piano with handcuffs on? and did you notice that we hear the bell ringing the last five minutes of the film, but they keep showing the bell standing still, with no-one anywhere near it? Based on the book by David Markson.

It has been a long time since I watched the movie (at least 5 years) I thought it was quite good. Fun to watch. The movie was full of action and was amazing how it was built around a derby hat. Sure seemed that who had the derby, was in for nothing but trouble. The list of actors was quite amazing as it was full of big time actors. I would love to see it again. I am hoping my brother has the movie still. He is the one who had it to begin with. I liked the movie a lot more than my wife did. She thought it was silly. I found it caused me to laugh all threw it. It is sure a movie worth watching again.I sure do recommend that you see this movie. In my opinion, it is a good movie.

Fair western slapstick comedy with very sexy women and animated like western characters which results in a fun atmosphere for fans of this genre.Sinatra was a good sport here in his portrayal of a very seedy and unglamorous character!The movie is dragged down by average production but the actors seemed to have fun making this movie and it shows.In the mood for a western comedy cartoon with real actors instead of Bugs Bunny?This one is it then.......
