I finally caught this film today for the first time. I was actually looking forward to it since I had already seen Quinn directed by Verneuil in "The 25th Hour(La Vingt-Cinquieme Heure)". THAT was a captivating, haunting film. THIS one wasn't. Quinn plays a Mexican Bandit on the run rescued by Sam Jaffe's Catholic Priest in sanctuary. Through a series of mischances, Quinn winds up in the role of Priest where he teaches the villagers to fight off bandits led by Charles Bronson and Yaqui Indians. I agree to the surrealist elements of this film which, quite frankly, detracts from the main story of an otherwise formulaic spaghetti western. So if you want to see a REALLY good film starring Quinn and directed by Verneuil, skip this one and find "The 25th Hour" instead.
