Los Pistoleros

[The Gunmen]


Cinematográfica Calderón, 1961

Director: Benito Alazraki

Cast: Teresa Velázquez, César del Campo, Roberto G. Rivera, Elizabeth Campbell (as Jane), Joaquín García "Borolas" "Stop looking at my cards!"

This was Elizabeth Campbell's first Mexican film, shot in late December 1961. This Western is based on the Wyatt Earp-Doc Holliday-Shootout at the O.K. Corral story: del Campo is the tubercular doctor (here named "Lauro Jiménez"), Rivera is his friend the marshal ("Rogelio García"). Rogelio is contacted by his brother Martín (Jorge Russek), the sheriff of another town, and two additional brothers join them (along with Lauro) to fight an outlaw band. One of the Jiménez brothers is killed by the gang, but in a final shoot-out, the Earps...excuse me, the Jiménez brothers and Lauro triumph.

Tere Velázquez, whose sister Lorena would later team up with Elizabeth Campbell for the "Luchadoras" movies, plays Lauro's girlfriend, who temporarily dumps him for one of the outlaws, but comes back later. Elizabeth Campbell, wearing a curly blonde wig, is a gringa lady gambler named "Jane," who is Rogelio's girlfriend.
