Trivia:
While filming a battle between Pancho Villa's rebel forces and federal troops near Ojinaga, cameraman Charles Rosher was captured by government soldiers and brought before their commanding general. Rosher thought he was about to be executed as a spy, and things didn't look too good for him until the Mexican general noticed Rosher's Masonic pin in his lapel. The general then gave Rosher the Masonic greeting; it turned out he was a Mason, too. Instead of being shot as a spy, Rosher was treated as a guest, and was later released after the Mexican government made a deal with the American government that allowed its troops to cross through American territory in order to outflank Villa's forces and attack them from the rear. moreFAQ

Kind of hard to comment on a movie that's been lost to posterity.
It might turn up in a perma-frost garbage dump some day, or in some hidden corner of a theatre basement.
Probably a few people around who went to see it when it was in the theaters, but I'm betting they don't recall too many details....
The recent "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself" may be an incentive to look for the original butchered propaganda exercise. According to this 2003 movie, Villa himself never got to see the movie.
