Barquero (1970)

An outfit steals a payload of rifles and sends three of their men to secure the barge which will take them across the river to Mexico. These men are overpowered by the bargeman's friend and the whole town crosses the river before the bandits arrive in town. A long wait ensues on both sides of the river.

Well directed Western with several interesting situations and action sequences.Van Cleef and Tucker give memorable performances, and Oates is a genius.
