Synopsis

In late-19th-century New Mexico, a hunting party of decadent European aristocrats wanders onto the reservation of some angry Apaches, and it's up to the mysterious wanderer, Shalako (Sean Connery), to save them from getting slaughtered. The group includes Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore in GOLDFINGER) as the sexually restless Lady Bagget and BrigItte Bardot as the sharp shooting Countess Lazaar, who (of course) falls for Shalako. It's an unusual blend of wide-open Western action and European character intrigue as the decadent aristocrats sip champagne and flirt with their unwashed, treacherous cowboy guides. Veteran director Edward Dmytryk keeps the flaming arrows flying while Connery and Bardot hold attention in this weird hybrid of American Western and European art film. (Yes, Bardot has a seminude bathing scene.) SHALAKO, based on the novel by Louis L'Amour, was filmed almost entirely outdoors amid the dark grey landscapes of Almeria, Spain, in a style undoubtedly indebted to the Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns of the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Big Game hunters get hunted., 2 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Shalako [VHS] [1969] (VHS Tape)
This is a curious western that boasts some interesting stars yet never really produces the sparks one might expect when Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot hit the big screen together.

It is a tale of Europeans on a safari in the wild west.Of course they are ill suited to such a venture and this is the basis of the film.They are double crossed,attacked by Native Americans and end up very shaken and stirred.Cue the hero whom the film is named after,played by Connery.

It is rather predictable after that with Connery saving most of them and getting the girl(he always manages to do that in films doesn't he?).

The ending is a bit weak and is too obvious.Yet one could pass a Saturday afternoon watching the film and be entertained which I suppose is all the Director intended.
