Gaucho
Window Card, Douglas Fairbanks as The Gaucho.
Release Date: November 21, 1927.
Synopsis: The film is an adventure set in Argentina, where Fairbanks plays a reckless outlaw known as El Gaucho. The story involves him becoming a hero, a spiritual transformation, and a showdown with a tyrannical general.
Unique Aspects: The film is noted as a departure from Fairbanks' usual adventurous style, featuring a darker tone, spiritual themes, and an element of "seething sexuality". A subplot involves the Gaucho contracting a disease, possibly leprosy, before being cured. Fairbanks' real-life wife, Mary Pickford, also makes an uncredited appearance as the Madonna.
