Old Turkey Buzzard and MacKenna's Gold
Yes, another stroll down memory lane to watch this huge block buster of a movie. MacKenna's Gold was the last of the great westerns.
A film that is plot-driven, it continues to provide the thrills as the disparate band of men search for Old Adams or MacKenna's Gold in the Canyon Del Oro.
The movie uses a lot of camera tricks for the background as well as modeling to create the sensation of the earthquake as the whole canyon caved in in the final minutes of the movie.
A feel-good movie, it shows that good triumphed over evil and greed.
While nobody else got any gold, MacKenna got two bagfuls of the nuggets as he and the girl rode into the sunset.
Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Camilla Sparv and Julie Newmar stars.
