The Good Guys and the Bad Guys

I have always confounded Andrew McLaglen and Burt Kennedy's westerns, both made in the late sixties - early seventies period, and seeking the fifties period atmosphere; avoiding the Italian or new wave western genre in the Sam Peckinpah, Jack Starett or Monte Hellman's style. Forget the counter culture and gloominess, forget the bitterness, Vietnam war, disillusionment in those McLaglen or Burt Kennedy's westerns. Well done for sure, but I will always prefer Bob Mitchum in FIVE CARDS STUD, made one year earlier, than this one, very light hearted, limit comedy, for which I wonder what to think about it. Burt Kennedy or Andrew Mclaglen? Honestly, I don't care.
