Directed by Robert Aldrich
Burt Lancaster bends his famous grin into a sadistic sneer as outlaw Joe Erin in his second outing with director Robert Aldrich, adding a particularly savage streak to this Western high adventure set during the Mexican Revolution. Gary Cooper plays Erin's reluctant partner, a disgraced southern officer turned mercenary after the Civil War, on a mission to escort a Spanish countess (Darcel) to Vera Cruz until rebels and rumors of gold pit one against the other.
