I still dig it, but it's hard to believe the guy who made this had Once Upon a Time in the West in him two years later. A lot of its overstated, and that music cue after some of the lines gives the slide whistle in DOA a run for its money. But it's an epic treasure hunt western! I was especially digging the sense of place and the movement between places this time, I think that lends the film much of its scope. And the finale more than makes up for any previous shortcomings.
