Bandolero! is a very suited western that never slows down from beginning to ruin. This may seem like your typical western but it is a step above the rest. After the Civil War, two brothers are reunited on opposite sides of the law. Mace pretends to be a hangman to attach his brother and his gang for robbing a bank. After saving them from clear death, Mace and Dee bustle south with a posse end after them. Along the draw, they assume along a rich widow whose husband was killed in the attempted bank robbery. The posse follows the gang into Mexico and “territorio bandolero”, bandit country. This is a very engrossing western with plenty of action. Considerable of the movie was shot at John Wayne’s Alamo Village in Brackettvile, Texas which is very necessary in the final shootout. Very gracious western that is well worth a examine.

James Stewart and Dean Martin are very suited together as Mace and Dee Bishop, who were on different sides in the Civil War, but now must work together. Raquel Welch plays rich widow, Maria Stoner, who is the appreciate interest of several characters. Her Spanish accent is questionable, but who really cares? George Kennedy is also helpful as Sheriff July Johnson, the leader of the posse. The movie also stars Andrew Prine, Harry Carey JR, Rudy Diaz, Denver Pyle, and Dub Taylor. The DVD offers a substantial looking widescreen presentation, two theatrical trailers for Bandolero!, and five other trailers from Raquel Welch movies. For a very suitable western with a mammoth cast and plenty of action, check out Bandolero!

Typical oater. Jimmy Stewart and Racquel Welch assign it from being completely forgettable. Stewart and Dean Martin play brothers who fought on opposite sides of the civil war, but have both been damaged by the experience, and have a hard time staying on the straight and narrow. Martin’s character rode with Quantrill (like the real-life James and Younger brothers), and now robs banks for a living, an outlaw with a heart of gold, at no time do we absorb he’s really a awful man.

But what a magnificent looking DVD! The image quality is absolutely perfect. Looks like a movie filmed last year, not one filmed 36 years ago. Both the image and sound quality are design, device above average, what every DVD release should be but very few are. The image quality is better than what this movie really deserves.
