CGiii Comment
Brando's one and only foray in the director's chair...it's only included here because of him.
From the opening shot...this is Brando by Brando - there are many scenes that linger on the Brando pout...courtesy of Brando - that Hollywood ego has been allowed to run amok.
The supporting cast are weak - especially the women...the material that they were given doesn't exactly help...ridiculously submissive.
The editing is terrible. A story that could have been told with, at least, 40 minutes cut out...without doing any damage to the narrative.
It ends with the most boring and shortest shoot-out ever seen.

Running from the law after a bank robbery in Mexico, Dad Longworth finds an opportunity to take the stolen gold and leave his partner Rio to be captured.
