Backtrack! (1969)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Earl Bellamy
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

A tame 60s western edited together from TV episodes of "Laredo" and "The Virginian". Doug McClure is a shady cowboy who cheats at cards and dice. When he's caught, he's forced to take up real work. His employer sends him to Mexico to pick up a prize bull. He runs into three Texas Rangers in a Laredo bar and ends up joining their pursuit of murderous Indians. Lots of pulled punches, poorly choreographed fights and overly familiar western sets, but Rhonda Fleming sings in a Mexican cabaret and Ida Lupino shows up in Mexico as well!
