Alvarez Kelly
Alvarez Kelly(1966) isn't really a classic, but it's a  pleasant enough Western, directed by Edward Dmytryk. The rather  convoluted plot (adventurer plays one side off against the other on a  cattle drive from Mexico during the Civil War) relies heavily on the  charm of the two stars, William Holden and Richard Widmark, but the two  prove as reliable as ever. There are some so-so action scenes, but it's  the battle of wits between the two principals that supplies all the  fireworks. By contrast Janice Rule is just adequate as the love  interest.--Ed Buscombe
