What a curiosity this film was. It started like 'El Cid', horses charging along a dusty path, and then became part Monty Python, part 'Blazing Saddles', part Greek drama, all delivered in uncharacteristically enunciated language which was often out of synch with the actors' mouths. The plot was something about a strong cowgirl ma'am, played by Barbara Stanwyck, and her presumably gang of 40 men, but it kept tailing off and never really got anywhere interesting. A curiously uninvolving film, although some regard it as a cult B movie. Perhaps it influenced Sergio Leone.
