Il grande giorno di Jim Flagg

This is a good old fashion western starring two codgy cowboys. One is an aging Marshal named Flagg played by Roger Mitchum and his old nemesis bank robber buddy McKay played by George Kennedy. This western portrays both men as past their prime players in their respective fields of Marshal and Bank Robber, who are harshly being put out to pasture.

But movie goers "hold tightly on to your horses reigns" as these two feisty old geezers are not ready to hang up their guns just yet since their replacement much younger Marshal and Gunslingers just don't have the right stuff to take over these old geezers place in the sun just yet.

Similar to the musical score theme of the earlier 1965 western film Cat Ballou, this films movie theme is heard throughout the film at just the right times to remind the movie goers that something good or something bad is about to happen.

A train is going to be robbed and its up to these two old gunslingers to agree to join forces and stop this younger band of desperados led by Waco played with pizazz by David Carradine.

Of course there has to be a love interest for Marshal Flagg and that happens to be stay at home mom Mary played by the lovely Lois Nettleton. Most of the comedy light is provided by the towns Mayor Wilker played by Martin Balsalm.

I found this western quite entertaining with a good cast and an even better story with a great soundtrack and enjoyable cinematography. So get yourself a big bowl of popcorn and your favorite drinks and sit back and enjoy this light hearted western

I give the film an entertaining 8 out of 10 IMDb rating.
