| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Argentina's 19th c desert war makes an interesting alternative to the western |
| Odd but interesting remake of an older Argentine movie based on the novel "Pampa Barbera."
Director Hugo Fregonese does a fine professional job with the material. He manages to include many nice touches that give this an authentic Argentine feeling, and keep it from becoming just another mid-60's western. It's too bad that the sound track on this print doesn't do justice to the beautiful score by Waldo de los RA os. The story is set during Argentina's desert war of the late 19th century, as the Argentine army battles Indians on the pampas. (It was filmed on locations in La Pampa, Argentina and in Spain.) The army suffers heavy losses as the Indians and renegades have devised a plan to lure lonely conscript soldiers into desertion by promising to give them women captives. Captain MartA n (Robert Taylor) plans to counter their scheme and keep his troops by arranging to import women from Buenos Aires. Battles ensue as the Indians try to capture the women on their way to the fort. The print has a lot of dust and artifacts, and suffers from some very choppy editing. I'm only deducting one star for those technical flaws because I think the film is interesting enough to overcome that. English / no subtitles |
