Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and western fans. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Fans of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or True Grit should feel right at home.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 21 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Made in 1953: an older pace and style.

Gringo miner Gallager is caught up in the Mexican revolution of 1910-11 when corrupt administrator Ruiz appropriates his mine. Gallager saves the life of guerilla leader Raquel, then finds there's a price on his head; he becomes romantically involved with her in the course of a series of rescues and ambushes, leading up to Orozco's march on Ciudad Juarez.
