1972 - THE WRATH OF GOD, offbeat action film to put it mildly.

Robert Mitchum is a machine gun packing priest, or is he?  This is one nutty western. He's mixed up in a rebellion in Mexico when he would rather be robbing banks.

Ralph Nelson is the director and he doesn't appear to have a hand on the story. Apparently the film was plagued with production problems.

The film sequels from one crazy scene to another.  Still it's entertaining and has an interesting cast which includes Frank Langella, Victor Buono, Rita Hayworth and John Colicos.  

Ralph Nelson and Jack Higgins wrote the screenplay the film runs 111 minutes.
