Oracle knew how to get free booze. Great movie. Who can forget Martin Landau as the blue-eyed Chief Walks-Stooped-Over?
It wasn't a big hit. Maybe because it was too long. IIRC nearly three hours.
One of my favorite wacky westerns. Loved Donald Pleasance as Oracle and Burt Lancaster as the Colonel. And there was teamster Brian Keith, yelling "I'm a taxpayer and a good Republican...!"
Another favorite quote from Jim Hutton as Capt. Slater: "Protect both rears...simultaneously!"
Every time I hear someone say something like "I see it now..." it triggers a memory of the movie. Not a cinematic milestone, just a really fun western that never took itself seriously. I have it on laserdisc.
