...Appaloosa. When two strong men stake their claims to a strumpet and a stallion, the enmity between them can be the stuff that fleshes out the bony structure of the very best westerns. But in this film, a mulish scenario puts a frustrating checkrein on the excitement, and it is slim pickings for Marlon Brando, playing a saddle tramp whose dream is to become a horse breeder, and John Saxon, portraying a Mexican bandit chieftain who has a girl (Anjanette Comer) up for grabs in his lair...
...beaten "First Fleet" on the banks of Botany Bay, he came up with a tally of 756 convicts (including prostitutes, purse snatchers, forgers, highwaymen and housebreakers), 211 military persons, 209 chickens, 74 pigs, 29 sheep, 19 goats, five rabbits, five cows, three mares, two bulls and a stallion...

Appearing with the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Greensboro, N.C., Roy got saddled with a spirited nag that objected to Western spurs. Or perhaps it was the way Roy sat the English saddle. The stallion reared and a crowd of 6,000 gasped as the King, like any dude, tumbled off, landing on his rump in the sawdust...
