Great flick.
The director used an ingenious combination of Clint Eastwood's `Man with no name' character and Shirley MacLaine's charm to make a funny and entertaining movie.
POSSIBLE SPOILER: `Every man's got a right to be a sucker once', as Hogan says. But he's no sucker and Sarah is no nun. Every aspect of the film works. For a while the audience actually believes Sarah is a nun and Hogan will never romance her. Outside of that, the rest of the plot is a classic Eastwood western, with him chomping the smoked out cigar and tossing sticks of dynamite. The plot is predictable, but that is what we want. We want Hogan to out gun the bad guys and get the gold. And somehow we know there has to be some sort of romantic relationship for Sarah and Hogan.
Once we find out Sarah's real profession, it all fits. Bad guys lose; Hogan and Sarah win, and ride off together. The last scene is hilarious. We know Hogan is going to be henpecked the rest of his married life and we know he will love every minute of it.
