Trivia
The role of Marguerita Ventura was intended for Chita Rivera which in the end was cast with Lainie Kazan. See more »Quotes
Narrator: The legend of Chile Verde tells of men and women who became slaves to their passions. They paid the price here under the blistering, burning, blazing, scorching, roasting, toasting, baking, boiling, broiling, steaming, searing, sizzling, grilling, smoldering, VERY HOT New Mexico sun. For there is a saying in these parts: those who lust in the dust shall die in the dust.See more »

With all that talent in front of and behind the camera, it's shocking how dismal the end result is. Most of the blame goes to the rotten script, which is not only unfunny, but has almost no plot; the characters keep screaming and running around to try to hide the fact nothing is really going on, but it doesn't work. Though the fact that the direction delivers everything (not just the "comedy") in such a heavy-handed way shares some of the guilt as well. The only thing somewhat humorous is the song that's played in the opening and closing credits. If you want to see a FUNNY western spoof, see "Rustlers' Rhapsody" or "Evil Roy Slade".
