Budd Boetticher

Set in Mexico, a nun called Sara is rescued from three cowboys by Hogan, who is on his way to do some reconnaissance, for a future mission to capture a French fort. The French are chasing Sara, but not for the reasons she tells Hogan, so he decides to help her in return for information about the fort defences. (imdb)

This unique western centers on an innocent farm boy with a talent for handling guns who decides to make it big. He begins as a bounty hunter. (All Movie Guide)

Maureen O'Hara as the spoiled, rich, American preditor who falls head-over-heels for the brooding, tormented, about-to-retire matador, Luis Santos (Anthony Quinn) who has inexplicably run away prior to a corrida that was to occasion the "alternativa" of a young, up-and-coming bullfighter (Manuel Rojas). The mystery is solved 94 minutes later, after Maureen has conquered Tony and Tony has saved Marueen's life by caping a toro bravo with his plaid horse blanket. (imdb)

Boetticher's final release is an independently produced documentary about legendary bullfighter Carlos Arruza, narrated by Anthony Quinn. A labor of love, perhaps his most personal film - Boetticher himself had been a bullfighter before going into movies. Tragically, a car crash in 1966 took the lives of Arruza and some of Boetticher's filming crew. He only directed one other film, A Time for Dying (1969). Arruza was completed and released in 1972 to strong reviews but flopped in the theaters.
