Two Western bank/train robbers flee to Bolivia when the law gets too close.
Highly entertaining Western takes a lighthearted, but not insincere view of outlaw life and gives its two leads lots of room to expand (and enjoy) on their buddyhood, while never losing pace of the tale, and offers some spectacular landscape cinematography; the soundtrack may have been popular, but is a bit incongruous to the goings-on.
Halliwell****: "Humorous, cheerful, poetic, cinematic account of two semi-legendary outlaws, winningly acted and directed. One of the decade's great commercial successes, not least because of the song 'Raindrops Keep Falin' on My Head'.'"
Maltin****: "Delightful seriocomic character study masquerading as a Western....Many memorable vignettes."
