Der Film spielt in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts in der heißen und unwirtlichen Wüste von Mexiko. Der wortkarge amerikanische Söldner Hogan rettet eine Nonne vor drei betrunkenen Cowboys. Nach einer kurzen Schießerei sind die Betrunkenen tot und die Nonne Sarah, die sich im späteren Verlauf der Geschichte als verkleidete Prostituierte erweist, weicht dem mürrischen Hogan nicht mehr von der Seite. Gemeinsam haben sie ein Ziel – der Kampf gegen die Franzosen. Doch während Sarah für die Befreiung Mexikos kämpft, hat Hogan nur eines im Sinn – den Goldschatz der Franzosen. (Verleiher-Text)

Not that I'm crazy about Westerns, but I do enjoy the ones with Clint Eastwood. This one was a little different; the filmmakers were going for a more humorous take on things, and those expecting a lot of shoot-outs would end up sorely disappointed, except for the ending. I enjoyed the film even the second time around (except for a few minor issues). Clint Eastwood was badass as Hogan, Shirley MacLaine was cute as Sara, and Ennio Morricone reminded me once again of how much I love his scores. I was certainly satisfied, and I stand by my original rating.

I wouldn't be angry at all if it was a bit shorter, but the spark between Shirley and Clint is so strong that it's surprisingly enough for a good experience in itself. And that is even without a proper plot. And with a traditionally brilliant Morricone.

As I delve into classic westerns, I'm constantly amazed by how the filmmakers of the time could create such unexpected and fantastic duos. Today’s filmmakers could certainly learn a thing or two. In this gem, the rugged Clint Eastwood teams up with the mischievous nun Shirley MacLaine, who’s not above sneaking a swig of rye. The plot is straightforward but perfectly suits this quirky pair. The sarcasm flows as freely as whiskey from a bottle. And of course, it’s all set to the perfect score by Ennio Morricone. What more could you want?

Clint robbing dead bodies while humming a merry tune, a nun who drinks a bit too much and a great western. The brilliant one-liners during the verbal exchanges of the incongruous duo and the ever-perfect Ennio Morricone make this movie an entertaining and inventive watch.
