While in Austria filming ¨When eagles dare¨, Clint Eastwood was approached with the script by Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton's wife at the time, with the notion of starring together in the film however, Universal Pictures was unwilling to pay Taylor's high salary. Shirley MacLaine did not get along during the shoot with director Don Siegel, with whom she openly fought. Clint returns his classic character of ¨The man with no name¨ and MacLaine is an unlikely nun in this amusing comedy Western. It's a special following to original ¨Dollars trilogy¨ with Eastwood as ¨Man with no name¨ as this new role as Hogan bears remarkable resemblance. This classic as well as diverting Western results to be a good fun that contains thrills, humor, slow and deliberating filming, elaborate shoot-outs, and portentous battles with bloodbaths included. Hogan is the deadliest man alive, he takes on a whole army with two guns and a fistful of dynamite!. At the end takes place a needlessly violent slaughter against Maximiliano army. Inevitably both of them become good friends but Sara has a twisted secret. Gringo Hogan arrives in Mexico do some reconnaissance, for a next mission to capture a French fort, so he decides to help her in return for information about the defences. It deals with a nun called Sara (Shirley MacLaine) and two mules (second mule was actually a burro), as she is attacked by three outlaws, being rescued by a drifter named Hogan (Clint Eastwood), who is on his way across Mexican desert and becoming wary of her religious nature. Well crafted Western with interesting and engaging screenplay written by Albert Maltz from a story by Bud Boetticher.
