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.

Reviews

Benedito Dias Rodrigues 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

ksf-2 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.

rbrooksie12 Don't watch this. It is such a waste of time. Sinatra was far too old to play in this movie, and a matter of fact, I would say this is by far his worst film. No wonder he only had one more starring role in his movie career. Dean Martin would have been a better actor to cast in this role. Dean featured the natural charm, wit, and humor, that did not come as naturally to Sinatra. Look at Dean and George Kennedy in "Something Big", a western from 1971. Not a bad film. As for George Kennedy, he doesn't do a bad job in this movie, but this plot, which is actually not so ludicrous, is made ludicrous by the unfunny and constantly overly forced humor. I've only given two movies before this a 1/10 on IMDb, and I've reviewed about 300 films, so trust me and skip it, even if you are a die hard Sinatra fan like I am.

zillion29-1 This movie is a series of "blue" gags and poorly written slapstick mixed in with crappy stunts and a nauseating plot. I love Westerns, I love Frank Sinatra. But there's a reason it took him 7 years to appear in another movie - this picture soured everyone on him. We get two unfunny pee scenes, nymph schoolteachers, racist Indian gags, more boob jokes (T. Chest, anyone?), and even an "I got shot in the butt" vignette. Ugh. And Frank Sinatra sounds like a reject from Amos & Andy with the accent he affects. Only Jack Elam lends any real comic effect, or maybe I just think lazy eyes are funny. 96 minutes of this and you'll be wishing you were watching Seargents 3 or 4 For Texas. This movie fails on all accounts.
