Savage Pampas [1966] [DVD]Robert Taylor (actor) Ron Randell (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 110 min Quality: Very Good (from TV)
A western set on the pampas, the Argentine grasslands, home of the gaucho. It was one of the last productions of Samuel Bronston, who had been responsible for a series of large scale epics, filmed in Spain, like El Cid, King of Kings, and 55 Days in Peking.
The failure of The Fall of the Roman Empire had almost ruined his production company. To turn the tide, he teamed up with a couple of South American entrepreneurs for this large-scale remake of a classic 1946 Argentine movie, Pampa Barbara. |
