Most unbelievably Mexican of all time?
Charlton Heston does bring gravitas but it’s obviously up there with oddest castings of all time. Absolutely no attempt at an accent. Really feels odd having him play a Mexican attorney
Otherwise, what a mean little noir. Shocked they went as far as to imply the lady was going to be raped.
Love the energy the border town has. Great shots of crossing the border.
Obviously some of the most creative cinematography you’re going to see.

Heston said he wanted to do an accent but Welles told him no one would believe Moses as a Mexican.

Certainly a Mexican attorney could speak English enough to lose his accent and he could be descended more from Spanish settlers than native Indians. I find the over the top accent more off putting than no accent and a new example would be the James Stewart biopic. That guy really leaned into it from what I saw in the trailer. Also, one of the greatest opening shots of cinema history and an A+ movie.

Still the greatest tracking shot ever put on film. That opening scene is perfection. Janet Lee had a broken arm when filming it, and they had to remove her cast to do so. That's why they have her walking holding a purse, because she had to keep her arm at that level.

She had one of the greatest natural racks in Hollywood history.

The story goes an executive wanted to fire Wells because the first day of shooting they were behind schedule (filming the opening shot) and had no dailies for three days. The executive was furious and went down to set to fire him and then when the shot was completed, found out that now they were two days ahead of schedule
