An absoulute classic for Western movie fans

A GREAT flick and one of my all time favorite Westerns. Burt Lancaster plays a half breed, "Valdez", an ex-Buffalo Hunter and U.S. Calvary Scout, but now seemingly nothing more than a two bit lawman. Due to his ethnic roots, Valdez is a second class citizen that can't get any respect from the white establishment, especially a wealthy rancher who needs his help to find his estranged wife (played by Susan Clark), abducted by a band of renegade banditos from across the border. What the crazed Rancher, a local tough, all-mouth, hired gun (played by Richard Jordan), and the banditos don't at first realize, is Valdez has his trusty Buffalo gun at the ready and never misses from incredibly long range.
Valdez Is Coming is terrific (PG rated) family entertainment. Don't miss it!!!
