I think this film is under-rated. Directed by John Sturges with a great cast. Donald Pleasance as Oracle the seer and town drunk.
Dub Taylor as one of the miners ordering forty wagons of whiskey owned by Brian Keith (a good Republican and taxpayer).
Lee Remick is the Ladies Temperance League leader (a fine figure of a woman) who does not want the wagons to arrive.
Robert J. Wilke and Martin Landau (politically incorrect) as Indians who want the whiskey
Burt Lancaster, John Anderson and Jim Hutton as Army officers who are supposed to protect the whiskey from Indians and temperance women.
Narrator is John Dehner who lends a serious voice to a crazy plot and ridiculous actions.
With all these people, I could listen to them read the dictionary. If you are in the mood for humor and silly entertainment, come on, who doesn't want to see the temperance league literally walk over John Anderson, a blue bathtub with angels in an Army tent and the Army band which continually further incites the women by accompanying their pianist? Then put this on your list. Any screenwriter who can come up with this many crazy events, you gotta give the film a watch.
