A fake outlaw, a real desertion, and one very confused posse in 1870 Argentina.
Set on the Argentine coast in 1870, a man pretends to be an outlaw to catch an army deserter.
Production
Genuine 1870s Argentine coastal locations, not a backlot in sight.
Costume
Military uniforms vs. outlaw rags — the disguise game is strong.
Director
Richard von Schenck
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a rare Argentine-American co-production in the late 1950s, shot on location when most 'westerns' were built in Italy.
The film deliberately mirrors classic Hollywood western tropes but subverts them with a protagonist who's playing a role rather than finding his true self.
