I have the dvd in my collection, and watched it again tonight. As usually happens with movies, I got to looking into the production details. Bandelero Turns out the set used for the final scenes in the Mexican town where the final fight takes place looks sorta familiar because it was the same set used for the town in John Wayne’s 1964 classic “The Alamo”! Quite a few of the characters (at least the names) were also sorta recycled by Larry McMurty for his western novel “Lonesome Dove! Evidently he was a fan of the film as well! 7mm "Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen.

Scott was on the set and said he thought they killed one of the stunt men. He said it was pretty damn hokey. But they got paid and got free booze.

Stewart a bad guy? No, maybe a good guy who robs a bank because “it seemed like the thing to do at the time!” Besides, he says it himself later on, “People rob banks for all sorts of reasons!” I wonder how he would’ve been as a really bad guy, say like Fonda’s “Frank” in “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Thinking of the many roles he played so well throughout his long career, I bet he’d have made one helluva villain! Look at how well Glenn Ford did in the original “3:10 To Yuma”. I occasionally forget just how beautiful Raquel was back in the day, but I never really thought she had those sultry “bedroom eyes” back then. She surely was a stunner! Maybe I was just too busy looking at other things to notice her eyes! As said though, great cast, great story, pretty good music. Thinking it over, I’d rank “Bandelero” right up there with “The Searchers” and a few others. 7mm "Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen.

Scott was on the set and said he thought they killed one of the stunt men. He said it was pretty damn hokey. But they got paid and got free booze. I was! I believe I brought in Scott and several others for extras. It twen't good... as far as movies go. But I made a lot of money. Rough Riders was filming at the same time, and I turned down a role on that one for the Jet Li western because of the $$. The stunt guy was in bad shape. They filmed a scene and he was pile drived into the hard ground. They took him to Del Rio, and he was Life Flighted to San Antonio. The movie producers said he was going to be alright, but I never trusted anything they said... Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
