I saw this movie as a kid in the theaters. Once.
It haunted me for the rest of my life - at least until the internet came along with IMDB and I was finally able to recall the movie's title (due to Boone's presence). So I watched it again many years ago. I thought it stunk.
Still it haunted me. Here I am, watching it again!
Why? Can't say. Maybe it's the thing about the gold or the cheeseball climax or the weird, misplaced "Indians"... I still don't know why this films sticks in my head.
Maybe that, more than any other reason, is a good cause to watch. Perhaps every ten years or so. Maybe by the time I die I'll be able to figure out the allure of this ham bone production.
Watch it if you have ninety minutes to kill. But be warned: you won't get them back again!
