One-Eyed Jack (Also known as: El Rostro Inolvidable, lit: The Unforgettable Face) is a 1961 American Western film directed by the famous actor Marlon Brando, starring himself as Rio.
In 1880, after a successful bank robbery in a small Mexican town, Dad Longworth decides to betray his faithful companion, Rio, who ended up sentenced to spend five years in a Mexican prison. After escaping, Rio intends to take revenge on Longworth, who managed to become the sheriff of Montgomery and start a family. This will be an impediment to Rio's plan to rob the Montgomery bank.
One-Eyed Jack was the first and only film directed by Marlon Brando, although initially Stanley Kubrick was in charge of directing the film, but finally Brando decided to take the reins of directing the film, lengthening its duration to two hours (an additional five hours were cut).
The following weapons were used in the film One-Eyed Jacks:

Colt 1873 Single Action Army
Both Sheriff Dad Longworth's (Karl Malden) deputies and Rio's (Marlon Brando) bandits use the Colt Single Action Army as sidearms. The "Artillery" and "Quick-Draw" variants are primarily used.
