Impressive!

Being a long time Toshiro Mifune's fan, I really wanted to watch this movie. Finally, I caught it on cable TV. Mifune's performance is really brilliant. I have no idea how Ismael Rodriguez came to the idea of Mifune playing a Mexican indian (Mifune didn't speak Spanish at all!)but he is just perfect for the role. I mean, I hardly can imagine somebody else doing Animas Trujano. This man is so bad and yet you are moved to sympathy at the end. I loved the serene, noble wife portrayed by Columba Dominguez.In a sentence: this movie should be highly recommended. Bravo!

BRAVO!

This is a wonderful film. A beautifully produced and acted morality tale that should not be missed. Only Mifune could make such a sleezy, slimey and morally corrupt character into an attractive and sympathetic hero. He is totally believable as a drunken and abusive Mexican Indian. This characterization could have become a cartoonish stereotype in the hands of a lesser talent, but Mifune brings dignity and charisma to a very un-sympathetic hero.
