Synopsis: The Hallelujah Trail (1965)
Synopis: THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL is a slapstick comedy starring Burt Lancaster as cavalry officer Col. Thadeus Gearhart, set just before the winter of 1867, when the boomtown of Denver realizes it's almost run out of whiskey. The perenially drunken Oracle Jones (Donald Pleasence) hatches a plan to bring a wagon train of whiskey to Denver before winter sets in. Newspaper editor Hobbs wires temperance leader Cora Massingale (Lee Remick) about the shipment, and a group of Sioux Indians also takes an interest in the booze. Col. Gearheart leads a company assigned to protect the temperance contingent, which intends to head off the train, and Capt. Slater (Jim Hutton) leads another, assigned to protect the train. A Denver citizens group, led by Clayton Howell (Dub Taylor), is also headed for the train, not to mention the Sioux. When the Teamsters suddenly stage a sit-down strike, the train is left wide open to attack. This odd little film, based on the novel by Bill Gulick, features a star-studded cast and a score by the great Elmer Bernstein.Features: The Hallelujah Trail (1965)

Pros: The color, the humor, the music
Cons: a bit slow and too long
An enjoyable mid-Sixties spoof of the western genre, with
Burt Lancaster obviously having a very good time. Donald Pleasance gave a delightful performance as Oracle, with
everyone else filling in nicely. Not the best comedic western
(Support Your Local Sheriff, three years later, was far superior), but still a pleasant-enough way to spend an afternoon or an evening. ...
