Rio Conchos (1964)

Directed by Gordon Douglas
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shout Factory)

Action-filled western follows a rag-tag group of soldiers and convicts into Mexico in search of stolen rifles. The characters are well developed with backgrounds and motivations. A surreal ending with a delusional Confederate general, portends a similar ending in Apocalypse Now a decade later. Good location shooting throughout.
