      Storyline

      Edit
      In 1916, a Mexican rebel named Cordoba steals six cannons from the forces of General Pershing who's been sent to bring order to the Texas-Mexico border. Pershing assigns a soldier named Rod Douglas to retrieve the cannons. Douglas recruits a trio of misfits and they, along with a Mexican officer and an enigmatic woman, travel 200 miles south to Cordoba's mountain fortress. Explosions and gun battles soon erupt. —dinky-4 of Minneapolis

        The uniform stolen from a much shorter and stouter soldier fits Antonio perfectly.

      5/10
      Giovanna Ralli
      Cannon For Cordova is a fair movie, that has only two reasons to watch. The incredible beauty of Giovanna Ralli ( Lenora) and the Elmer Bernstein music. The main star ( George Peppard ( Captain Rod Douglas)) has done westerns before ( including How The West Was Won), but simply does not excel in them ( he is at his best on TV ( Banacek and The A-Team)). I admit to being a sucker for beautiful Italian women like Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Elsa Martinelli, Laura Antonelli and Virna Lisi, so Giovanna Ralli is right up my alley. But she is not enough to make this is a good movie ( just like watching her in What Did You Do In The War Daddy? (although this film is better)). I say 5/10 stars. 1 star for the Elmer Bernstein music. 4 for Giovanna Ralli.
