Audience Member Pancho Villa and Valentina (1960) This was second in this trilogy of movies that director, writer, producer, Ismael Rodríguez made dedicated to the legendary Mexican revolutionary general, José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, or better known as Pancho Villa, who is brilliantly played by Pedro Armedáriz (who most of us know from From Russia With Love, The Three Godfathers, The Conqueror, etc.). Rodríguez put together many little vignettes of famous legends believed to be about Pancho Villa. Some of them are funny, while others are serious, dramatic stories, that may or may not have actually happened. Like we tell our children about George Washington and the cherry tree, these may have been told to the children of Mexico. The story always starts where his tombs and grave sites are located and finally where the long-forgotten warehouse is where his head is pickled in a jar of alcohol. Villa is telling his stories in flashback. Villa is trying to fight for the revolution and needs to deal with all kinds of politics with his people. Sometimes he deals with it as a wise and strategic leader of the people while other times, he kind of blunders through it, doing the best that he can. There are also many women who are attracted to him, as well as counter-revolutionaries who are trying to kill him. This is an excellent film, far better than the U.S. movies about Villa that I'm accustomed to seeing. A great movie to see during the Centennial Independence Day celebration of Mexico. Viva Mexico! Viva Villa. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
