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?

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.

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.

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.
