Review of Mackenna's Gold (1969) by Shreyas K — 27 Mar 2010
Been wanting to see this movie for a LONG time, and finally did! Not disappointed.
Excellent cinematography for a simple story.
MacKenna (Peck), the Marshal sees a map to Canon del Oro - the legendary Apache canyon of gold, and is held hostage for almost the entire length of the movie by Colorado (Omar Sharif), and his goons, who want access to this gold. The movie is about how they get to the gold, and what happens en route.
The movie also stars Julie Newmar (Catwoman, from the original Adam West Batman series), as one of the Indian girls. And a brief appearance by Eli Wallach, and Burgess Meredith (Penguin, I think?).
