Madron Reviews

Gross, bloody oater shot on location in Israel and starring Boone as a tough gunslinger who meets up with nun Caron, the sole surviving member of an Apache slaughter. Boone, who respects the kind nun, agrees to guide her through the desert to safety, which eventually calls for him to kill just about everything that moves. When accosted by outlaws, Boone stuns the bandits by ripping open Caron's habit and exposing her breasts. This distracts them enough for Boone to gun them down. One of the bandits, Amrani, survives and Caron makes him swear to be an ally. Eventually the former rivals develop a camaraderie, and Amrani makes the ultimate sacrifice by riding off alone to lead attacking Apaches away from Caron and Boone. This leads to Boone making love to the distraught Caron, who sheds her habit the next morning. Learning that Amrani was captured by the Apaches, Boone sends Caron on her way and vows to enter the Indian camp and rescue his comrade. (If this sounds a bit like Sam Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH, consider that Amrani's character is even named Angel.) Boone enters the Apache stronghold and guns down most of the savages before being killed himself. Caron, meanwhile, makes her way back to civilization knowing that Boone sacrificed his life for her. The tune "Till Love Touches Your Life" by Riz Ortolani and Arthur Hamilton, was Oscar-nominated for Best Song.
