Editorial Reviews

The presence of Paul Lynde, in a small role, reveals more about the quality and tone of this film than the three top names. A farce with plenty of slapstick, it offers Kirk Douglas as a road agent dealing with a naive hero (a young Arnold Schwarzenegger) who is seemingly out of western serials in the '40s and a beautiful, sexy saloon girl (Ann-Margret). The silly jokes are the point, not the plot, though Needham includes some impressive stunts. Some of the most notable draw blatantly on Warner Brothers roadrunner and Daffy Duck cartoons; notably, the film came from Columbia, not Warner. The film's attempt at satire is too heavy-handed to have bite. Bill Wu, All Movie Guide

July 20, 2004: This little-known movie is high on my favorites list to show to friends for a fun evening. Kirk Douglas is kind of a parody of himself in all his other movies and does a great job of it. Ann-Margret has never looked more fetching (it is a Western, after all) and you've never seen Paul Lynde in all his glory until you see him as Nervous Elk the great Indian chief. Even Kirk's(Cactus Jack's)horse Whiskey is a character in his own right. Things seem a little strange as they go along and get stranger the further you go, but all is understood in the end. Enjoy getting there. (Let your friends figure it out as they go; watch it all dawn on them.)
