Nice shot of the Alamo there...
I agree, nice pics showing the location -
Bandolero! is a 1968 western directed by Andrew V. McLaglen
starring James Stewart, Dean Martin, Raquel Welch and George Kennedy.
The story centers on two brothers on a run from the posse,
led by a local sheriff who wants to arrest the runaways and free a hostage that they took on the way.
They head into the wrong territory, which is controlled by "Bandoleros".I enjoyed this movie, one of the few that starred many of Duke's 'Pals'
but not Duke himself!
Bandolero starred Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin along with Raquel Welch
and George Kennedy.Also look out for other 'Pals' Harry Carey Jr., Denver Pyle, John Mitchum and Dub Taylor.
Worth a look:
Wade Phillips: One of the men killed by the bandits.
He was also the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.And as the User Review below says,
No Dino singing, but a great Jerry Goldsmith score.User Review
30 December 2001 | by mibailiff (St. Clair Shores, MI)QuoteSure, Dean and Jimmy starred in better westerns in their careers, RIO BRAVO and THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, to name a few, but this one doesn't have John Wayne. The Duke didn't need to be here. This is a good ride that holds the formula western of better days to its heart and you're none the worse off for having given 90+ minutes of your time. And yes, Raquel Welch is gorgeous, baking in the hot Mexico sun. Dino doesn't sing, but the soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith is haunting.

Raquel Welch was signing autographs on the set for fans, when James Stewart heard her complain that she didn't like doing it. Stewart told her "You better sign those, they're the ones paying your salary." Welch thought about this and from then on willingly signed autographs.This was the first appearance of a character known as Sheriff July Johnson, played by George Kennedy. Larry McMurtry would use this name later in Lonesome Dove, with the sheriff this time played by Chris Cooper.
Wade Phillips: One of the men killed by the bandits. He is/was also the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Goofs
The action is set just after the Civil War, but the $10 bill sticking out of Mace's backpack is of 20th-century design.Maria is wearing modern pantyhose in the attempted-rape scene.
This movie takes place just after the Civil War, yet the hangman claims to have just passed through Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City did not exist until 1889, after the land run.
When the undertaker holding the rope in his left hand, his hands are clasped together. He turns toward the gallows and the next shot shows him with the rope in his left hand, but his hands are dangling at his sides as he starts up the gallows stairs.
After the sheriff has captured the Bishop brothers, Maria's right arm is across her waist. The camera immediately goes to a closeup of her and her right hand is dropping from her throat.
Next to a well, Dee Bishop fought hand to hand with a leader bandit El Jefe. El Jefe pulled out a knife and fatally stabbed Dee on his left side. Dee went down and on a next second shot, a knife wound was shown on Dee's right side.
