The Jackals (1967)

From the pages of author WR Burnett (The Great Escape) comes this adaptation of Yellow Sky. Set in the South African plains during the Transvaal gold strike, Vincent Price stars as Oupa, a cunning old miner set on protecting every ounce of gold he has. With only the help from his pistol-welding granddaughter, he must fight a gang of ruthless bandits intent on stealing his fortune.

Price gives an out of character, quirky performance as the crazy prospector, but it worth the watch - despite the cheap production values. Available on VHS and DVD.





Stay tuned. A sound clip will appear here soon.
