Die Verfluchten der Pampas (1965)
51KDie Verfluchten der Pampas: Directed by Hugo Fregonese. With Robert Taylor, Mario Lozano, Felicia Roc, Ángel del Pozo. In the late 1800’s, an army captain tries to tame the open plains of Argentina which are dominated by Indians and bandits. To help do this, the captain brings in a party of women to keep his soldiers happy.
“An Argentinian Western and Tayloru0026#39;s oddest film, Savage Pampas is a remake of the 1946 Argentinian film Pampa Barbera. Taylor is the guardian of a wagon train of women heading for a lonely outpost in the interior in 1870. The plot is reminiscent of his Westward the Women (1952) with the difference that this time the women are prostitutes, intended to be morale boosters to stop the men of the outpost from deserting. Shot by Hollywood veteran Fregonese who co-scripted it with a strong emphasis on realism, the film got lost in the flood of Spaghetti Westerns.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePhil Hardy”
