...Sundra, a caravansary in the salt wastes of the Thar, Pakistani irregulars were doing their laundry one morning when an Indian 3-in. mortar shell slammed into their midst. Killed: a brown goat. The Paks - camel-riding Indus Rangers and bearded Hur rifle men - ducked behind mud walls and blazed back in the best Gunga Din fashion.

Major Dundee is Charlton Heston, and the writers of this long-winded, quasi-Biblical western apparently had fun filling their script with reminders that the star has previously played such roles as Ben-Hur, Moses and John the Baptist. With Old Testament wrath, he pursues Chief Sierra Charriba through the wilderness in A.D. 1865. But once Heston gets on Mexican soil, Director Sam Peckinpah (Ride the High Country) lets Dundee ramble so freely that the Apaches are soon lost in subplots...
