Barquero - Spanish Pressbook
If I remember correctly, Lee doesn't wear that striking hat in the film. It's Warren Oates. The U. S. poster also is the same. I remember reading an interview with Lee about that film and he praised Warren Oates' performance in the film and mentioned the original director was killed in a small plane crash while looking for locations and the producer then gave it to Gordon Douglas who was mostly a TV director and shot real fast. He also said he and Forrest Tucker kinda goofed with that film. I don't know if that was a typo or if he was indicating he and Tucker should have passed on the film or played their parts differently. Anyway it was shot in Colorado where today the people are having a high old time. Puff puff puff!! Kinda puts a new twist on Denver's "Mile High Stadium" moniker.
