Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mackenna's Gold is a 1969 western film directed by J. Lee Thompson, starring Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Telly Savalas, Camilla Sparv and Julie Newmar. It tells the story of how the lure of gold corrupts a diverse group of people. The film was photographed in Super Panavision 70 by Joseph MacDonald, with original music by Quincy Jones. The story is very loosely based around the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings. An old legend tells of a fortune in gold hidden in the 'Canyon del Oro', guarded by the Apache spirits. Along with several others, a man named Adams found it when he was a young man, only to have the Indians capture and blind him and kill all his companions. Years later, Marshal MacKenna wounds an old Indian shaman who tried to bushwhack him; the shaman subsequently dies, despite MacKenna's attending to him. MacKenna thereby comes into possession of a map that supposedly shows the way to the treasure. Though skeptical, he memorizes the directions before burning the map.
