Shalako is a 1968 Western film directed by Edward Dmytryk (being the last western of his career) and starring Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot. It was shot at Shepperton Studios near London with sets designed by the art director Herbert Smith.
The film tells the story of Novo México in 1880. Location shooting took place in Almería in southern Spain, particularly in the Tabernas Desert which was frequently used in European westerns during the decade.
Based on the book by Louis L’Amour, 1962, Shalako has a mixed cast of American and European actors and its structure within the American western genre, Euro-spaghetti style, also ends up being a very interesting mix of cultural approaches.
