Review of The Torch

The Torch (1950)
6/10
The warlord comes to town
2 June 2020
It's the Mexican Revolution of a century ago, a time of great anarchy and in a town where Paulette Goddard is the town beauty and richest girl there one of many Mexican generals comes to town. Pedro Armendariz is looking to set up headquarters there. as the local warlord.

Goddard is set to marry American doctor alter Reed, but Armendariz sets uphis own campaign to win her in is own boorish way. Will she stay with Reed or respond to Armendariz?

The Torch is a remake of a Mexican production Enamorada with Armendariz in h same part. Goddard is added for some American box office draw and Gilbert Roland who is of Mexican ancestry shaves his mustachw and becomes a priest here. Not a typical Roland part but he carries it off.

For fans of he principal players.
