If you watch "TheWar Wagon" as a western you'll likely be disappointed. It is, in fact, a comedy, and it works quite well. It isn't as hilarious as "Blazing Saddles", but it does elicit some laughs. The duke and Kirk Douglas are bitter enemies, who strike up an uneasy alliance against Bruce Cabot, a land baron who for some reason has a war wagon full of gold. So guess what? Wayne and Douglas lead other big name actors Wynn, Walker, and Keel to steal the gold. Don't look for anything real here. This is just escapist fun. It's a few good tough guy lines, and we even have Bruce Dern at his sneakiest. It has a lot of good elements if you take it light heartedly. It is hard to see ranking this movie very high. It is also hard to see ranking it under 5. It has good elements, because it never takes itself seriously, and it works as light action packed comedy.
