Spain released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: The Americano is Glenn Ford, a north-of-the-border cowboy working in Brazil. Ford has been assigned to deliver a cargo of Brahma bulls to a South American ranch. His progress is impeded by homicidal land-grabber Frank Lovejoy and jovial bandido Cesar Romero. Those are merely the human obstacles; there are also piranhas and jungle predators to contend with. Ford also finds tie to romance Ursula Theiss and Abbe Lane. Luxuriously location-photographed in Technicolor, The Americano was one of the larger-budgeted directorial efforts of exploitation king William Castle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quiet hero scores again, December 11, 2000

Glenn Ford does his patented understated hero again, this time as a Texas cowboy delivering prize Brahma bulls in Brazil where he runs afoul of bad guy Frank Lovejoy. But it is Cesar Romero, an actor who once played the Cisco Kid, who steals the show as an aging and comical bandit -- much as we might believe the real Cisco would have become in his later years. Cult director William Castle, of all people, helmed this RKO film and did an OK job.
