The filmmakers do mount a fairly elaborate battle for the finale. Guns for San Sebastian promises to deliver something potentially big and David Lean-ish … but soon opts for situations and action one would see in any ordinary western. A few years back we were given both versions of director Verneuil’s superior gangster thriller The Sicilian Clan not so here. Webb is listed as the screenwriter on this English-language version, but other names including the famous Ennio De Concini are presumably credited on an alternate European version.

There may be different international versions of the film. Although Anthony Quinn’s best work was mostly behind him at this point, he shows considerable strength as a Mexican bandit who becomes a reluctant liberator. The presentation says ‘prestigious epic’ but a thin script and pat characterizations limit its appeal. It’s upscale filming all the way, with a big star and famed creatives behind the camera.

MGM teamed with French filmmaker Henri Verneuil to direct this action epic, a Franco-American-Mexican co-production filmed entirely in Mexico.

Leave it to Ennio Morricone’s epic music score to bind it all together.

Quinn is good, and all the necessary elements are present: fights, handsome scenery and a big battle… but it’s fairly tepid stuff, simplified and prettified. Anthony Quinn is an 18th-century bandit who liberates a Mexican hamlet from marauding Yaqui Indians and a villainous Charles Bronson. It’s a big international action epic, filmed in Mexico with a French director.
