Clint Eastwood plays Hogan, a quizzical, slightly bemused cowboy in this immensely enjoyable Don Siegel caper, saving nun Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine) from a fate worse than death in the Mexican desert.
The two leads are perfectly paired, and MacLaine, in particular, turns in a great comic performance as her ill-fitting habit begins to slip.
Siegel keeps the tension and pace roaring along as he pitches his stars into the middle of the Mexican Revolution and all its attendant mayhem, though some may find the final, gory battle scene out of kilter with the light-hearted tone of the rest of the movie.
