This colorful, sprawling western is enjoyable with an admonition that greed and gold fever lead to death and destruction. Mackenna is the central figure who is believed to know the secret location of a hidden canyon of gold that the Apaches have decreed as taboo and off-limits to outsiders, especially to gold-crazed palefaces. Settlers, the U.S. cavalry, Apaches and a Mexican bandit get involved in the search for the gold, and the movie offers the usual conflicts, chases, double-crosses and gun-play. The towering, majestic mesas, cliffs and gloomy, forbidding canyons of Utah and Arizona are a delight to behold. Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif top a great cast of major Hollywood stars weigh in with cameo appearances.
