The previous commentary might lead people to erroneously believe that both Veronica Lake and Sarita Montiel appear in "Stronghold." Actually Miss Lake appears in the English version only (Stronghold) while Sarita Montiel substitutes her -playing the same part- in the Spanish version whose title is "Furia Roja." There are other casting differences -check entry for "Furia Roja."
Also it is interesting to note the differences in the final edits of both films. The Mexican version has a scene at the beginning which shows the leading lady (Sarita Montiel) still trying to defend her destroyed U.S. Southern plantation while her father's dead body is laid out at a chapel surrounded by slaves. Her brother,(Gustavo Rojo) who is fighting for the North, shows up to check on his family and she almost shoots him since he is wearing the enemy uniform. After the initial confusion, the lady informs her brother that she and their mother (Fanny Schiller) would be moving to their property in Mexico "to forget the horrors of the war and find peace."
The English version starts with both mother and daughter (in this case Veronica Lake and Fanny Schiller) in a vessel arriving in Mexico. My opinion is that the Mexican version is more complete and coherent.
