    Storyline

    Edit
    The story takes place in Texas in the 1890s and begins with a train robbery staged by Louise (Brigette Bardot) and her four sisters. Among the loot is the title to the Little "P" ranch, which just happens to be located on a field of unexplored oil next to the property of Marie Sarrazin (Claudia Cardinale) and her four brothers. Louise and her sisters decide to give up the life of crime and settle down on the Little "P' ranch, but are harassed by Marie and her kin who is determined to force them out and acquire the old-rich property for herself. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>

    • Trivia
      The Little P. Ranch was built specifically for this film, but it remained standing after filming was completed and would go on to appear in the following movies: '¡Viva la muerte... tua! (1971)', 'La banda J. & S. - Cronaca criminale del Far West (1972)', 'Il mio nome è Shangai Joe (1973)', 'Uno, dos, tres... dispara otra vez (1973)', 'The Spikes Gang (1974)' and 'Il bianco il giallo il nero (1975)'. The ranch burned down in an unknown year, leaving only the chimney standing. It remains so as of January 2017.
    • Goofs
      When Louise is buying the horse and riding it in Maria's corral, the long shots are of an obvious stunt double.
    • Alternate versions
      Once available on Super 8, Sound, Colour, 400', but discontinued as of 1980.

    Brigitte one more time show to the world of the cinema how sure of herself she was this time around she was paired with Claudia Cardinale a beauty on her own and the Italian answer to Bardot . in the past Bardot was pair with the sublime Jeanne Moreau and the very talented Annie Girardot, this movie is a western a very good one i love the way Bardot and Cardinale fight , they are very sexy together of course Bardot is by far more beautiful and more famous please rent or try to watch this movie is wonderful you will have a great time plus is Bardot in it the most beautiful movie star of all time. I will said one thing about this movie it have many different name in English i don't know why , but remember any movie with Brigitte in its a treat
