Rating:  - 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.

The story is set during Argentina's desert war of ... Read More
Rating: - A different kind of western
I saw this film in the mid 60's on TV and remembered it fondly.
It is a cowboys and Indians movie set in 1870's Argentina. This is one of Robert Taylor's final efforts and is a solid one.

I'm sure some women's groups would have a field day with this picture. It's a unique story where love and lust turn into survival in a harsh environment. Director Hugo Fregonese has delivered a Spanish film that ... Read More
Rating:  - CURIOUS WESTERN SET IN ARGENTINA
One of Robert Taylor's last pictures, SAVAGE PAMPAS was directed by Hugo Fregonese, who made such westerns as APACHE DRUMS, BLOWING WILD and, in Europe, one of the WINNETOU westerns in 1965, which alos dealt with Apaches on the war path. Here, he sets his action in ARgentina in the 1870's and casts Taylor as a cavalry officer and Ty Hardin as a revolutionnary, facing Indians and rebels.
Visually, the film is rather curious. The soldiers' uniforms are a mix of mexican uniforms, french legion uniforms ... Read More
