Waterhole #3 (1967)

An Army sergeant is stealing army gold. He hides it in a pond in the desert. A card shark accidentally comes into possession of the map to where the gold is hidden. He looks for the gold, but is chased by a sheriff.

Unusual Western comedy with sung verses which narrate the goings-on of the plot. A considerable part of the narrative involves a rape and its consequences. This is approached in a comical way. It is a cynical movie, and occasionally funny. All in all, a curious movie, well acted and well directed; I guess one could call it a product of its time, and leave it at that.

Rating: 51
