Dirty Dingus Magee is a 1970 Western film directed by Burt Kennedy and starring Frank Sinatra, George Kennedy, and Anne Jackson. The movie follows the story of Dingus Magee, a notorious outlaw who wants to perform the biggest robbery of his life. Along the way, he finds himself falling in love with a schoolteacher while trying to deal with the corrupt sheriff and his cronies.

The story starts with Dingus Magee, played by Sinatra, being released from prison. He immediately runs into a young woman named Anna, played by Jackson, who is a schoolteacher trying to free her brother from the clutches of the dastardly Sheriff Murchoree, played by George Kennedy. Dingus takes it upon himself to help her and inadvertently becomes involved in a complex web of political corruption and violence.

Through clever wit and cunning, Dingus manages to stay one step ahead of the sheriff and his posse. He devises a plan to rob a train carrying a large amount of money which belongs to the wealthy Mr. Hamilton, played by John Dehner. Hamilton is a powerful man in the community, and Sheriff Murchoree is his loyal crony. Dingus enlists the help of a band of outlaws, including Reace, played by Jack Elam, and Turk, played by Harry Carey Jr.

As they plan the robbery, Dingus and Anna start to develop feelings for each other. Dingus, who has never been one for settling down, begins to realize that he might want something more than just a life of crime. Meanwhile, Sheriff Murchoree and his men are closing in on Dingus and his gang.

The film is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, witty one-liners, and slapstick humor. The chemistry between the cast members is undeniable, with Sinatra delivering one of his funniest performances. George Kennedy is perfect as the corrupt Sheriff, and Anne Jackson adds a touch of sweetness to the film. The members of Dingus' gang are all memorable characters, with Jack Elam stealing many scenes with his comedic timing.

The movie also features a catchy theme song, "Dirty Dingus Magee," which was written and performed by Al De Lory. The song perfectly captures the tongue-in-cheek tone of the film and will have you humming along for days after watching the movie.
