...except Quetzalcoatl and Pancho Villa. Among its ingredients: three love stories involving three sets of dashing caballeros (Ricardo Montalban, Vittorio Gassman, Rick Jason) and beautiful señoritas (Pier Angeli, Yvonne de Carlo, Cyd Charisse), a bullfight, a cockfight, a feud between two villages, bastardy, incurable illness, a fiesta, a beauty contest, a contested will, gypsy witchcraft...
