This amusing western has a racial equality angle, an avalanche, a locoweed stampede, Shelley Winters chomping cigars, and Agnes-an educated horse that sits on its rear end for a strategy conference with Burt Lancaster. Most important, it has Ossie Davis, one of the nation's finest Negro actors...
...young men (James Hunter) works at the funeral parlor, and the mother of the other (Kenneth Cranham) has just died. The duo plan to skedaddle with the loot while the funeral is going on. At the same time, the dead mother's cynically efficient nurse (Carole Shelley), a sevenfold murderess of previous husbands, is precipitously wooing the bereaved widower. Into this den of agitated vipers steps Truscott (George Rose) of Scotland Yard. Disguised as an employee of the water board in order to bypass certain laws that confine the limits of police activity, Truscott is the eternal flatfoot...

A former San Francisco Chronicle reporter, Morrison has held local and state party posts, including the San Francisco co-chairmanship of Pat Brown's successful 1962 campaign for Governor. His only major public office has been on the board of supervisors, to which he won election in 1961 and re-election in 1965. Alioto has consistently outpaced Morrison with his well-organized campaign machine...
