Movie Info

In The Hallelujah Trail, Lee Remick plays temperance leader Cora Templeton Massingale, who is determined to halt a shipment of whiskey headed for Denver.

As the Denver miners thirstily await the precious booze, Gearhardt must fend off not only Cora and her minions, but a bibulous tribe of Sioux warriors, headed by Chief Walks-Stooped-Over (Martin Landau)-not to mention an outsized sandstorm. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Satirical and funny! I'd become so accustomed to Burt Lancaster in serious dramatic roles that his brilliantly subtle humor took me by surprise. *NOTE: Watch for a very thin Donald Pleasence as the prognosticating 'Oracle'.

THE HALLELUJAH TRAIN is a first class western comedy about a army of temperance women that want to destroy a wagon train of liquor being escorted to thirsty miners before a chilly winter sets in. Burt Lancaster is hilarious as the beleaguered cavalry officer.
