Even though #Shalako is hardly a spaghetti western fans of the genre might still find it a worthwhile viewing since it was filmed in Almería. So there's plenty of familiar locations for spaghetti western aficianados. #Shalako 📽️🎞️

Not only does #Shalako feel too long but it also has such a collection of arrogant unlikable characters outside of the main two stars that you're at times hard pressed to care about their fate. 📽️🎞️

Rare English language outing from Brigitte Bardot. Also Sean Connery's ONLY western. How I've managed to not come across this before is beyond me. 😕 Blessing in BB's passing that I finally found out about it. Even if it's admittedly hardly anything special. #Shalako 📽️🎞️
