I'm not sure that it is a great movie, but it is very good, and it stays and grows in the mind the way only movies of exceptional narrative intelligence do.

Siegel devotees will find much to enjoy in the languid but not unexciting story by Budd Boetticher.

A step or two above the usual Clint Eastwood Western.
By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW
50
This western almost makes the grade as high-quality moviemaking, but just never quite gets there.

Two Mules for Sister Sara might have worked. But with Clint Eastwood as one of the mules, an American mercenary looking for a fast peso in old French-occupied Mexico, Shirley MacLaine as a scarlet sister disguised in a nun's habit, and Don Siegel's by-the-old-book direction, it doesn't.
