Review of Bandolero!

Bandolero! (1968)
6/10
Falls flat in the second half
2 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I could swear that when I first saw this film it had a scene of the Jimmy Stewart character Mace Bishop riding off in the hangman's clothes with the real hangman tied up and gagged in his underwear. Whenever this film is shown now it is missing that scene. The first part of this film is entertaining enough but runs out of steam right at the part after Mace Bishop in his hangman's get up robs the bank in Val Verde and turns to a stunned passerby and says "Tough world isn't it"? The movie might as well have ended right there as the rest of it is totally flat. The only worthwhile part in the second half of the picture is when the Wil Geer character scolds his boy about picking his nose and then explains to Mace the difference between manners and making a living such as killing people and burning down their homes.
