Viva Villa!

The sometimes heroic, sometimes infamous deeds of legendary Mexican bandit and patriot Pancho Villa are brought to life in this highly acclaimed blockbuster starring Wallace Beery. This stunning biography begins its story with a young Pancho, driven to repulsion of the Diaz regime when he witnesses one of its soldiers kill his father. Pancho turns against the government, becoming one of the most ruthless bandits ever known to Mexico, but eventually helping to put the honorable Francisco Madero to power. After Madero's assasasination, Pancho himself is called upon to lead the masses, but being a better fighter than a bureaucrat, he relinquishes the presidency when he is able to restore Mexico to its people. Beery, Leo Carillo and Fay Wray being all the majesty and tragedy to the story of this larger-than-life bandito, Pancho Villa. Known to some as a patriot, to others as a savage, he will be remembered by all in this historical and spectacular film tribute.
