content

Late 1890s. Billy Two Hats survives as a bandit; the Indian teams up with the Scots Arch Deans. Both screw up a bank robbery that brings in little money but one dead. When Billy is freed, Deans suffers a leg wound. After fleeing for some time, they find shelter in an old rancher's hut, and Deans goes looking for a doctor while Billy enjoys the sexual virtues of the young rancher's wife, Esther Spencer. This stay enables Sheriff Gifford, an Indian hater, to confront the two refugees. In the final shootout, he and his deputies, the refugees, the rancher and Indian renegades are involved.

production

Norman Jewison, the producer of the film, had shot Jesus Christ Superstar in Israel shortly before and liked the authentic look of the western town in the desert. The script and the idea came from Schotten, the director was Canadian. For a budget of $ 1,100,000, the film was shot in 8 weeks.

criticism

"" Bury the wolves in the ravine "is a decidedly slow western that - apart from a few sequences - takes the external action very far back and takes a lot of time. The direction shows a good sense for atmosphere and slow rhythm. "

- prisma-online.de

"Peck provides a fine depiction of the aging outlaw, but this is diminished by his Scottish accent, which is applied a little too thick."

- Los Angeles Herald Examiner
