Sam Whiskey Movie Review 1969

Charming but uneven western/heist flick has widow Dickinson hire a motley group of misfits, led by Sam Whiskey (Reynolds) to retrieve her late husband's gold from the bottom of a river. Only she wants them to return it to the U.S. Mint from which he stole it. Quirky comedy has a great cast, but doesn't always equal the sum of its parts.
