George Peppard stars in this western, which reminded me of his role in the A-Team tv series. In most scenes he is seen with a cigar in his mouth. As in the A-Team he leads a small team of 4. Is it a coincidence that his character in the A-Team is called "Hannibal" and one of his team in this film, Pete Duel is best remembered for his role as "Hannibal Hayes" in the Alias Smith and Jones tv series. In this film they play undisciplined U. S.soldiers who go undercover to capture a Mexican rebel General and destroy some stolen cannons. Instead of the A-Team van, this quartet are on horseback. Add in numerous explosions, escapes and shoot outs and you have an extended episode of the A-Team but set in the wild west of a Spain based Mexico.
I saw this on Talking Pictures TV and I don't know if some scenes were cut or badly edited, but the story meandered a bit -did the scene involving the rancher add anything to the plot other than giving George the opportunity to be in bed with a beautiful woman? Another strange scene was when the Mexican lieutenant is given a flare gun to set parts of the fortress on fire and then fires it at places that were already aflame! There were several other scenes that didn't make sense, which spoilt the film for me, but if you enjoyed the A-Team, you may like this.
