Bandolero is an old Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin Movie. I love the
role Jimmy Stewart takes of pretending to the the hangman, while all the
time plotting the escape of his brother. He covers it so well he earns
a punch from one of the outlaws, which he returns later. I had
forgotten that this story was a true tragedy. Dean Martin had just
earned the love of Raquel Welch, no small feet considering they had
murdered her husband and then kidnapped her. However it ended in a true
tragedy after an encounter with the bandoleros. Both of the brothers
end up dead, and Raquel cries over their graves. Only a few of those
who headed into the mountains are able to return, including the Sheriff
who has a crush on Raquel. I highly recommend this movie.
