Trivia
By the time shooting was completed in Argentina, Eva Perón had died. For that reason the crew remained in the country, by a request from the government, in order to film the funeral proceedings in Technicolor.

Quotes
Teresa Chavez: It is right that men should talk of what they love... and that women should listen.
Martin Penalosa: On the pampa, we have a saying: "No matter how she smiles, a woman is a woman. And there's another, and another, up to the number of the stars."

Unusual western of life in the pampas

Gorgeous location photography of Argentina and the subtle, lyrical direction of Jacques Tourneur are the main reasons for watching this story of a gaucho who becomes first outlaw and then revolutionary, in an attempt to preserve his way of life from encroaching foreign influences and money. The acting is somewhat uneven - Calhoun and especially Tierney are somewhat miscast, though Richard Boone and others in smaller roles come off as more authentic.
