a5c7b9f00b Posing as a hangman, Mace Bishop arrives in town with the intention of freeing a gang of outlaws, including his brother, from the gallows. Mace urges his younger brother to give up crime. The sheriff chases the brothers to Mexico. They join forces, however, against a group of Mexican bandits. Mace Bishop masquerades as a hangman in order to save his outlaw brother from the gallows, runs to Mexico chased by the Sheriff's posse and fights against Mexican bandits. Bandolero is western with a little humor and romantic. James Stewart is in my opinion the star, plays without any pressure and feels his role is easy. Dean Martin and Rachel Welch are in love on the screen but they did not show it. Will Geer is a crook but joyful. He puts this movie to a higher level. Dean Martin & his gang rob a bank and kill a couple of people including Raquel Welch's husband. Sheriff George Kennedy captures the gang right outside the bank and locks them up. They are found guilty and are sentenced to be hung.<br/><br/>James Stewart plays Martin's older brother who disguises himself as a hangman and smuggles them some guns in order to make their escape. Along the way, they run into Raquel Welch's wagon and take her hostage. They cross over the border into Mexico with Kennedy and his posse close behind and battle Mexican bandits and the unrelenting heat as they make their way south. <br/><br/>And of course, Welch starts to fall in love with Martin in the process of this whole formula thing, making things even more complicated than they should be. It seems the rest of the gang (except for Stewart & Will Geer) want a piece of her for themselves, so both Martin and Stewart have to keep them in line in order to make sure nothing happens to her.<br/><br/>The film is entertaining enough and the ending gun battle with the Mexican bandits in the deserted Mexican town is fairly exciting, although the bandits kill Stewart and Martin while sheriff Kennedy is too busy shooting back at the bandits, himself. The tears shed by Welch over her loss look unconvincing and overacted, but that's all beside the point, I guess.<br/><br/>With our two anti-heroes dead, there's really not much of a happy ending to this one, but I'll still give it 5 out of 10 for being rousing and slightly entertaining.
