"Spectacular! A very funny, very exciting frontier action farce!" -The Hollywood Reporter

Acclaimed Director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, Bad Day At Black Rock, Gunfight At The O.K. Corral) turns the legends of the west upside-down in this rip-roaring western comedy about the year Denver was nearly devastated by a drought -- of whiskey -- and had to have forty wagonloads imported through very harsh -- and very thirsty -- territory!

Academy Award® winners Burt Lancaster and Martin Landau team with Oscar® nominee Lee Remick in this beautifully filmed epic adventure which "wins both laughs and thrills" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Also starring Jim Hutton, Brian Keith and Donald Pleasence, this irreverent and literally dry look at frontier life is "possibly the funniest western ever made" (Los Angeles Times)!
