Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen.
James Stewart and Dean Martin are atypically cast as outlaws in Bandolero! The film begins as Dee Bishop (Martin) and his gang are about to be hanged. The Scripture-spouting executioner turns out to be Dee's brother Mace (Stewart), who helps the desperadoes escape. They are pursued by a sheriff (George Kennedy), whose lady friend (Raquel Welch) has the hots for Dee. The brothers try to go straight, but before they can make up their mind they find themselves surrounded by Mexican bandidos and are forced to team up with the sheriff to fight them off. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

lost interest.
"I was a whore at 13 and my family of 12 never went hungry," Raquel Welch's newly widowed Maria Stoner tells George Kennedy's lovesick sheriff early on in this average American-made spaghetti Western. It is hard to know today whether such lines were actually meant to be delivered tongue in cheek or whether screenwriter James Lee Barrett merely attempted to shock. Certain sequences in Bandolero! -- chiefly involving James Stewart impersonating a devoted hangman -- are definitely written and performed for comedy and the graphic violence in the climactic battle is choreographed much like the era's Italian Westerns, a genre never meant to be taken at all serious. And neither, it seems, should Bandolero! ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
