Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Dean Martin's first Western without the Rat Pack, and he reportedly only took the role because filming let him duck out of a Vegas residency.
Released during the 1968 Western decline, it bombed because audiences wanted Peckinpah-level violence, not this polite murder mystery.
