Dirty Dingus Magee (1970)
Ass-breaker Dingus Magee is looking for a gold train when he comes upon old acquaintance Hoke Birdsill on stage to San Francisco, and robs him of his money. Hoke goes to the nearby town of Yerkey's Hole, where Belle Knops is both mayor and bordello-mistress. She appoints Hoke Town Sheriff and tries to get him to stir up the Indians so the soldiers at the nearby fort (the main customers) won't go to Little Big Horn. Dingus tries to stir up more trouble and get involved with the pale, baby-talking Indian, Anna. The film is a send-up of the oft-repeated phrase "the Code of the West" and exaggerates it and what it stands for into the ridiculousness that it is.

趣闻
Dirty Dingus Magee is a 1970 American comedy revisionist Western film starring Frank Sinatra as the titular outlaw and George Kennedy as a sheriff out to capture him. Directed by Burt Kennedy, the movie was based on the novel The Ballad of Dingus Magee by David Markson and the screenplay was partly written by Joseph Heller.
Production
Kennedy signed the deal to rewrite the script, produce and direct in August 1969. The film was shot in Arizona. Kennedy says James Aubrey of MGM wanted the director to fire Anne Jackson but Kennedy refused. Filming took place in February and March 1970.
Kennedy later gave the film as an example of the movie that does not work because "everyone was a comic and there was no straight man - except the audience who didn't think it was funny."
