Production

The movie was Bardot's third Western, following Viva Maria and Shalako. It was also Cardinale's third Western, after The Professionals and Once Upon a Time in the West.

Paul Wheeler says he was approached by Michael Deeley to write a buddy Western for Brigitte Bardot. He was paid £1,000 to do the job in two days. Wheeler says this film was not made.

At one stage the film was called Love on Horseback. Filming took place in Spain near Madrid and started in June 1971.

Guy Casaril started directing the movie but quit and was replaced during the shoot by Christian-Jaque. Christian Jaque said "‘I think it’s a lively and eventful story that does justice to the talents of its heroines. It’s a more a satire than a parody. Zany but not exaggerated . . . with all the trappings of the Western, Sheriff, Indians, saloon, chases and fights. Brigitte was very brave because she hates physical pain.

The director found it "enormously satisfying working with" Michael J Pollard. "He does so much with a character that might have been quite ordinary. To me, he is as important as the two women."
