Anyway, this time. she’s a re fined Argentinian of the late 1800's, who is fascinated by a brooding gaucho, proud and fierce and stubborn who has never been pam 'pered on the pampas. In a shart- dagger, short-lived fight, he kills another “cowboy of the Argentine plains” and is sentenced to setve with the rough militia. He doesn’t take to restriction. Or maybe he can’t stand the really baggy pants of one of the cavalry sergeants seen briefly waddling through the courtyard. At any rate, he deserts. Too bad, because the major, a hard ‘boiled egg is really quite a guy. | From there on, the gaucho who wants to breathe the free air of the pampas, even though it’s dusty as cleaning day at Aunt Esmer- ald’s, is a marked and hunted man. Captured, he’s tortured, escapes, joins the gaucho guerilla band, and is chained only as a prisoner of love. Gene Tierney looks wistful in mantillas or riding postillion with her gaucho. of East St. Louis, Ill.
