From legendary director John Sturges (Bad Day at Black Rock, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape) comes this rip-roaring western comedy about the year Denver was nearly devastated by a drought-of whiskey-and had to have forty wagonloads imported through very harsh-and very thirsty-territory! Screen greats Burt Lancaster (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral), Martin Landau (North by Northwest) and Lee Remick (Days of Wine and Roses) star in this spry, sprawling and spirited adventure thatwins both laughs and thrills (The Hollywood Reporter)! Also starring Jim Hutton (Major Dundee), Pamela Tiffin (One, Two, Three), Donald Pleasence (Soldier Blue) and Brian Keith (The Rare Breed), with epic Ultra Panavision 70 photography by Robert Surtees (Ben-Hur) and a rousing score by Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven), this irreverent and literally dry look at frontier life ispossibly the funniest western ever made (Los Angeles Times)!
