A good old school western with solid acting, a great musical score, wonderful cinematography and beautiful desert scenery.

Reviews for The Comancheros
ThoughWayne is decent, this is a compromised Western due to the fact that ailing director Michael Curtiz (it's his last film) has no appreciation for the genre, and several sequences were shot by producer George Sherman, stunts coordinators and others
Lively and cheerful, but too banal to be a top-rate Curtiz or Wayne film; nevertheless it's a pleasingly entertaining film.
