This is an odd little western that follows the misadventures of four backwards people as they flee to Mexico.  Linda has second billing under the legendary Mercedes McCambridge (voice of Pazzuzu in the "Exorcist" film).  Linda plays Julie Ann, a beautiful, yet mentally retarded young girl who married into the evil Hagen clan.  What I found interesting about this film is that there is NO protagonist; no one you can really call a hero.  It's a good enough show, but could've been made better.  Color would've made it a lot more watchable, as most of the filming appears dark in black and white.  But there were parts that dragged with extended dialogue.  This wasn't the fault of any of the actors; the director should've caught it.  The actors were actually good for the parts they were playing.

The premise makes an interesting concept.  However, if you plan to seek out this very rare film, the biggest treat is Linda who gives a funny, yet sexy performance as the childlike Julie Ann.  For rock 'n' roll enthusiasts, Frank Zappa composed the soundtrack.  The theme song you keep hearing throughout the movie is called "Star in the Mornin'".
