Interesting but degrading to Hispanics...., 24 June 2005
5/10
Author: timwilliamsart from United States

I just finished watching this movie. Ricardo Montalban stars as a dreamy-eyed Mexican immigrant farmhand who falls in love with downtrodden alcoholic loner Shelly Winters. A subplot has bad guy farmer Wendell Corey and his bitter wife Claire Trevor hiring and then stiffing Montalban's character for the work he did on their farm.

It was difficult for me to get past the embarrassingly sad broken English dialog the writers put in Montalban and his Hispanic friends' mouths. You get the impression that these particular writers must have penned all of the lines for Jay Silverheels as Tonto.

If you can get past the dialog and the sheer amazement that someone would cast the late great bug-eyed character actor Jack Elam as a Mexican then the story and plot are pretty good. There are worse ways to spend nearly 2 hours.
