Pancho Villa (film)

Pancho Villa is a 1972 American, British and Spanish spaghetti western film directed by Eugenio Martn. The film features Telly Savalas, Clint Walker, Chuck Connors and Anne Francis. Shot in Spain, this brawling spectacle has an oftenoverlooked lightcomedy satirical facet, which to this day often confuses the viewers. The storyline was developed during the Vietnam War and reflected certain antiwar sentiments in an American society.

Producer Bernard Gordon wrote in his autobiography that Telly Savalas and Clint Walker did not get along during the shooting of the movie. Salavas made attempts to upstage Walker and even insisted on changing some twoshots into solo shots. On the contrary, Clint Walker enjoyed Anne Francis companionship unlike his onscreen character. This was important to him since not much time passed after Walker barely survived a skiing accident, which, as he told Gordon, completely changed his life. Gordon stated that the production was finished on time and on budget despite script problems.
