Being the old, grumpy, and techno-impaired fart that I am, I cannot reconcile watching a film on a computer. I'm given to understand that these can be magically routed to a bigger screen, but I would need Steven Hawking to trundle over personally to hook it up.
Thanks one and all for encouraging the posting of the stills. In the Dark Ages this used to be the only way of reliving the experience of a happy two hours in the dark.
As long as there are no strong objections, more will be posted.We deal in lead, friend.

Love Burt's teeth and they are in almost every image.
Kid, there are 8 11-14 lobby cards according to my pressbook. You're missing a posed shot of the two stars together with their onscreen girlfriends. You should be able to pick it up as a single on-line.We deal in lead, friend.

This is one of the great westerns in the sub genre of American adventurers/gunfighters in Mexico. "Magnificent Seven", "Wild Bunch", "The Professionals", "Rio Conchos" and lesser entries such as Two Mules for Sister Sara", "Undefeated" and "Major Dundee" soon followed.
But this, along with "Treasure of Sierra Madre" was one of the first that hit all the right notes. It had breath-taking scenery (even if they did take the long way around to show the pyramids); high adventure; a wonderful cast; exciting action scenes; and perhaps most importantly, a terrific sense of humor. The music score is unmemorable and the female supporting stars are less than capable but the real story here is the relationship between Joe Erin and Ben Trane anyway. I plan on viewing it again after being reminded of it.
Thanks Keith.
