MAN NEEDS A MATE TO MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE - Bandolero! review by Frank Talker™
Well-written drama about the relationship between social origins and social outcomes featuring the always beautifully turned-out Raquel WELCH and a bunch of ageing outlaws wondering if their lifestyle could ever possibly come with a realistic retirement plan.
The outlaws muse much among themselves about whether or not a universal symbol of womanhood like WELCH would ever want to spend her days with any of the men-gone-wrong like themselves, despite having kidnapped her. And the theme of men protecting women in return for women civilising men is well-observed both in Dean MARTIN protecting WELCH from the more rape-oriented members of his gang as well as from the bandolero leader - along with much talk about the affect that bad mothering had on most of the unmanly men with which this movie is replete.
An intelligent tragedy that doesn't flinch from its theme in order to offer a final act fully in keeping with the almost-entirely immoral characters on display here.
