Just finished watching this film - it has to be watched because it is SO bad! Epic for all the wrong reasons.
John Wayne in the mongol version of 'blacked up' with 'slanty eye' make up and a fu manchu moustache delivering the cheesiest dialogue I have ever heard in his finest western drawl.
Looked it up and not only did the film bomb, they filmed the exteriors one year after and 140 miles away from the site of 'extensive above ground nuclear weapons testing'.
Then director Dick Powell arranged to have 60 tons of presumably irradiated soil shipped back to Hollywood for the studio re-shoots.
Turns out this movie might have literally killed Wayne, the film's director and a number of other members of the cast and crew.
