MACKENNA's GOLD 1969
by
J. LEE THOMPSON
Marshal Mackenna killed Prairie Dog and came into possession of a map which pointed towards Adams Canyon which was famed for gold. Omar Sharif's party, cavalry and many other men of fortune force Mackenna to take them to the riches. This is a terribly shot film. There are unforgettable moments like moving of shadows across the canyon and between Peck and Sharif, but one has to agree with Peck's assessment that "Mackenna's Gold is a terrible western. Just wretched." And yet, one likes the feel of adventure, hence goes along with it.
