** Maria is shown wearing a blouse which has buttons up the entire front, as does sheriff Johnson. This style of clothing wasn't commonly available until the early 1920s. Likewise, the clothing on nearly all of the male characters demonstrates stitching that would require an electric sewing machine to manufacture. These were not commonly available until after the turn of the century.

''Bandolero!'' is a 1968 American western film directed by Andrew V. [=McLaglen=] starring Creator/JimmyStewart, Music/DeanMartin, Creator/RaquelWelch and George Kennedy.

In a Texan town, Mace Bishop (Stewart) frees his brother Dee (Martin) from the gallows after Dee and his gang were arrested for a bank robbery. Dee and his gang take Maria Stoner (Welch), whose husband was killed by one of Dee's gang members during their bank robbery, as a hostage. The fugitives are chased by local sheriff July Johnson (Kennedy) across the Mexican border into territory policed by ''bandoleros'', whom Maria describes as men out to kill any ''gringos'' that they can find. The sheriff's posse tracks them down and captures the gang, but the ''bandoleros'' also arrive, forcing the sheriff the release the outlaws so that they can fight back. Complicating matters, Maria falls for Dee.
