The Treasure of Pancho Villa [1955] [DVD]Rory Calhoun (actor) Shelley Winters (actor) Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 92 min Quality: Excellent
Macho posturing outweighs action in this western set during the Mexican Revolution. A moralistic tale of greed and betrayal, it sees American mercenary Rory Calhoun and Latino patriot Gilbert Roland fall out over ideals while attempting to deliver the Federal gold they've stolen to rebel leader Pancho Villa.
There's plenty to enjoy in the film's climax, not least Calhoun's unintentionally ludicrous address to the circling buzzards. |
