On the other hand there's sieges and chases and mountain climbing so it's hard not to be happy with this, even though Connery has a lot less to do than you would expect. Directed by Edward Dmytryk. A Western? It has to be an undiscovered gem, right? Absolutely fucking right!!! I've known about this movie for decades but, really, all I knew about it was that it was a Western starring . Back in the 90s, I dimly recall a snippet of it being in a preview for VHS tapes you could buy from 20th Century Fox home video or something, but that snippet just showed without a shirt and Sean Connery standing in close proximity to her. That's not much to go on, but it was enough to grab the attention of a boy entering puberty I can tell you that much. It turns out that "Shalako" is about a group of big game hunters from Europe with an American senator in the mix who are hunting…. Sean Connery is Shalako , the man whose name must be uttered as often as possible, including a couple dozen times in the awesome theme song. Shalako must protect a bunch fancypants trespassers from Apaches led by Woody Strode, who is almost unrecognizable in his wig and war paint. An outsider character, respected by Native Americans to some degree and with superior knowledge of the environment, helps a group of travellers survive a hostile attack. What is refreshing about his character is that he is no superman. At one point he becomes second-in-command to someone with mountain climbing experience. The group he is assisting is a game hunting expedition, with a roster of familiar faces - Jack Hawkins, Honor Blackman great , ,…. We return to I had fairly low expectations for this one, but it was an entirely watchable shoot-em-up. Sean Connery is just there. If you happen upon the movie and like the western genre, give it a look. Ludicrous English western shot in Spain that is worthwhile only for Bardot looking rather stunning. Only lasted til about half way through this for two reasons, one it is poor and two ITV4 who had screened it had completely messed up the aspect ratio meaning any more than two in shot made it unwatchable. Caine recalls in his autobiography how each day the respective crews had to clear the sand of horse hoof marks and tank tracks! What a fantastic 60's Western. Each act kicks off with great gunfights. At times it's gritty. It almost seems hopeless when the movie is barely halfway through. Apache war-bands threaten death at every moment. There's deception and treachery and drama and tons of action. A stone- faced Connery as Shalako is a hero worth cheering on in a number of situations, when he gets screen-time. It does come with a couple of slow moments, but then the Apache show up again. I really like this one, and if you're either a Connery fan or a fan of spaghetti westerns, this is a good one to seek out despite the lackluster average reviews. It is about a group of rich assholes who pay some low-life cowboys to take them out hunting on land that is off limits from a treaty with the apache. They think because they are rich and white that nothing applies to them, and they completely disregard everything and cause a gigantic clusterfuck that gets nearly everyone killed. It is great that it showcases how ignorant people can be. This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. One of the Westerns newly posted on QookTV. This stars Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot in roles that are not quite right for either of them in what was an okay execution as a British-German co-production based on a Louis L'Amour novel. I am guessing the novel is far more engaging. The Apaches attack the stage coach, killing all Fulton's men as well as Lady Julia. Fulton, having watched her killing, joins up with the hunting party. After they rebuff an initial Apache attack, the humiliated Sir Charles challenges Fulton, and they fatally shoot each other. Chato and some other Apache warriors come up behind the Europeans, catching them by surprise. Chato challenges Shalako to a one-on-one fight with spears. Chato loses and is about to be killed when his father, the Apache chief, intervenes. He gives safe passage to Shalako and the others in return for his son's life. Chato storms off, feeling disgraced. With the surviving members of the party safe, Shalako rides off into the western landscape, accompanied by Countess Irina. Over the years as Lloyd dreamed of becoming an independent producer, he kept in touch with L'Amour. He wanted to film his novel Shalako. Lloyd recounted that, at the time, many film distributors were reluctant to back a film starring Fonda, and increases in the cost of filming in Mexico made it impossible to pursue. L'Amour remarked that Sean Connery , who starred in the role, would certainly "look tall in the saddle". Lloyd obtained that film's planned original co-star Brigitte Bardot, Bond cinematographer Ted Moore , and Bond stuntman and action scene arranger Bob Simmons. Once Lloyd had Connery on board, many European and other film distributors were keen to finance the film. Dimitri de Grunwald became involved in helping finance. Whilst scouting locations when planning to film in the United States, Lloyd had noticed that many Native Americans were overweight. He did not think they looked menacing enough. Simmons recruited a "war party" of lean and mean Romani people gypsies , whom he trained to ride and act like war-bent Apaches. Simmons talked Connery into shaving off the droopy moustache which he had grown for the historic period. The investors perhaps remembered 's moustache in The Gunfighter , which was believed to have discouraged some of the public from attending. They feared the same might happen with Shalako. One film crew had to wipe out the tyre tracks in the sand before filming the Old West, whilst the other had to pick up the horse droppings before shooting the Second World War battles. Once the gypsy Apaches, mounted on horseback, rode by mistake headlong into an attack on a Long Range Desert Group. At this stage in his career Hawkins had lost his once-booming voice to throat cancer, his voice was dubbed in by others. Connery and Bardot got on well during filming and both enjoyed the experience of making the film. The film premiered in late to mixed reviews. Some critics thought the film was not as good as the other Westerns being made in Europe, in particular, the Italian westerns known as "spaghetti Westerns" by which Sergio Leone , , and Clint Eastwood were building their reputations. Two scenes are routinely cut when the film is shown on television: - the death of the cowboy sent to protect Bardot's character; - the rape and death of Honor Blackman's character. Shalako was the 18th most popular film of Later, Shalako became a cult classic; it has been regarded as having the hallmarks of a European Western. Critics noted this was Sean Connery's first attempt to go mainstream in film and to distance himself from the role. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Shalako () - IMDb

In in New Mexico , frontier adventurer Bosky Fulton Stephen Boyd and his men lead a hunting party of European aristocrats and their servants, along with a retired American politician and his wife, into Apache territory. She is rescued by Shalako Sean Connery , a former U. Cavalry officer with a personal interest in keeping non-Indians off Indian land. While on the way to returning her to the hunting party, they are surrounded by Apaches. They both promise the Apache chief they will get the outsiders off the land. The chief agrees, but his son, Chato Woody Strode , tells Shalako he intends to kill him in battle. Shalako urges the leader of the hunting party, Frederick von Hallstatt Peter van Eyck , to leave, but he refuses and the two men soon despise each other. Shalako rides off to get the army to escort the party off Apache land, but the Apaches attack and would overrun the party but for a smoke signal ruse of Shalako from some distance away. The devious Fulton takes advantage of the lull in the fighting; he and his men take the hunting party's main stage coach, plus all the weapons and supplies, leaving the hunting party at the mercy of the Apaches. Lady Julia Daggett Honor Blackman , seeing the hopeless situation of the party, decides to leave her husband, the pathetic Sir Charles Daggett Jack Hawkins , and go along as Fulton's lover. She and Fulton had previously teased each other in a sexually fraught manner. Shalako returns to the stranded hunting party, which is re-equipped with weapons and supplies he had previously advised them to hide in reserve. He hopes to lead them on foot to a plateau where they will be temporarily safe. Shalako and von Hallstadt continue to feud, but over time their feelings evolve to mutual respect.

Both films deal with experienced Westerners who get stuck with the job of guiding a bunch of tenderfoots to safety. But "Hombre" showed Newman in a ticklish moral dilemma. A white man raised by Indians, he had become one himself. Why should he save the very settlers who were breaking treaties and ravaging tribal homelands? Connery's situation is simpler: He saves a European aristocrat's hunting party, I guess, simply because he's after Brigitte Bardot. The plot, once it's introduced, turns out to be pretty unoriginal. There's even a specific twist stolen from "Hombre": The young wife of one of the older members of the party decides to leave her husband for the desperado who's robbing them. In "Hombre," something was made of this; in "Shalako," nothing. Indeed, all problems are solved at the level of action, and Dmytryk avoids the opportunity to develop his characters more deeply. That would be good if the action was better, but it isn't. A sequence near the beginning shows Miss Bardot in a depression in the earth, fighting off several Indians who surround her. In the way the scene is arranged and photographed, it looks surprisingly like a scene in "Anzio," where was fighting off Nazis instead of Indians. Other action sequences are routine. Indians chase a stagecoach for two miles, and you see about 25 Indians let out a whoop and fall off their horses. Later, the survivors gallop victoriously away. That's why they went with it.

Nov 01, This is one of Louis L'Amour's best novels and as always the book is so much better than the movie. While the story is fairly engaging, the action scenes are good, Sean Connery is in great form, and Brigitte Bardot is as beautiful as ever, it is filled with traditional stereotypes of "Paleface good and Redskin bad" that I did not appreciate. Deb S Super Reviewer. Jan 07, A decent cast wasted in an unusual but slightly tedious western that's basically a safari movie in the desert. It has to be an undiscovered gem, right?

I am guessing the novel is far more engaging. They do a nice job of showing the international flair of life in the West, but it loses excitement, and underuses most of the stellar cast, including Woody Strode as the Native American villain, which was particularly disappointing. It is possible I had seen this before as some parts were familiar and the whole thing was forgettable. A disappointing way to pass the time while preparing lectures. https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/d739d406-4a1c-40e2-8e30-61a5d82888ae/notizbuch-a5-notizbuch-kariert-fur-architekten-buch- architektur-architekturstudium-geschenki-725.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4639784/normal_601f3fe3e9d9a.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9591140/UploadedFiles/2D71C37A-E6EC-E85B-88DF-76801226E31C.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9586385/UploadedFiles/2C6A8436-B32B-E623-AEC9-76E29C7B5C51.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9591700/UploadedFiles/F9418192-2A8B-4123-9F69-FB9845840E00.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9585684/UploadedFiles/DFFF5846-124F-D863-CFB8-83AB36CFC7ED.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4640272/normal_601f4c049a90a.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4645317/normal_601f885289cc1.pdf
