Customer Reviews of Ballad of Gregorio Cortez
Read the book too! Great film, thoroughly enjoyable. However, even more enjoyment can be had by understanding the entire story to be found in Americo Paredes' book "With a Pistol in His Hands." Here you will find out that fact can be more amazing than legend.
6 star rating.
I have seen The Gregorio Cortez Movie probably about 20 times. I was good friends with Dr. Americo Paredes, the writer of the book and live very close to the area that Senor Cortez lived and worked. This movie should be made a standard in every school in America. It was very dramatic, sensitive, and a eye opener.
Bravo to MGM/UA for re-releasing this hard-to-find classic!
Probably the most authentic Western ever made, this gripping adventure film recounts the true story of the largest manhunt in Texas history. In June 1901, six hundred Texas Rangers chased Gregorio Cortez, a Mexican-American ranch hand, for ll days across 450 miles of terrain. Was Cortez a cold-blooded killer or an innocent man fleeing injustice? You decide. Starring Edward James Olmos ("Miami Vice", "Stand and Deliver"). Based on the book by folklorist Américo Paredes, "With A Pistol in His Hand" (1958, Austin: University of Texas Press). Olmos, who met this author in February 2000, told her in person he has two favorite films from the many he has made--this one and "Caught" (1996).
