    It seems like so much more than a western. Eastwood and MacLaine are both hilarious. And Morricone's soundtrack work here might even surpass his work in the Man With No Name Trilogy.

    An ok western but no where near as good as Clint Eastwood's other western films.

    Love, Love, Love this one. What a combination, Shirley Maclaine is so damn funny and Mr Eastwood...is well Mr. Eastwood. This is totally entertaining and a classic. Very timeless actually, this is for any Generation I believe...

    After Leone's spaghetti western trilogy, Clint ODed on this kind of copycat during the 70s to varying success. This is one of the more mediocre offerings, but Clint displays his usual charisma and the interplay between his amoral drifter and Shirley MacLain'es distrustful nun is ...( read more)reasonably entertaining.

    I really liked it and it kept my attention for the two and a half hours, which is good. I think that this is one of the few Western movies that Eastwood can a love interest in and make it not feel awkward and forced. I really liked it and I might even see it again.

    The introduction of Shirley MacLaine to the story makes what could have been an incredibly tired, familiar old story into a great western. Clint playin' straight man to MacLaine's character makes for some laughs and the story in itself is incredbily entertaining.

    No thankyou - Not interested

    This has a much lighter, comedic feel than the rest of Eastwood's westerns. Absolute hilarity to go with the action. Both MacLaine and Eastwood ae excellent here. And the musical score is excellent as well.
