California is a 1963 American Western film directed by Hamil Petroff and starring Jock Mahoney and Faith Domergue. [1]
Revolutionaries rise up against the Mexican government in California in 1841. Mexican general Don Francisco Hernandez pits his troops against a tenacious team of revolutionaries led by his half-brother Don Michael O'Casey. Marianna De La Rosa is an heiress pledged to marry Don Francisco although she secretly loves Don Michael.
The film was shot on the old Republic lot. The sword fight at the end was director Hamil Petroff's last-minute idea and it did not appear in the original script. [2]
A caudillo is a type of personalist leader wielding military and political power. There is no precise English translation for the term, though it is often used interchangeably with "warlord" and "strongman". The term is historically associated with Spain and Hispanic America, after virtually all of the regions in the latter won independence in the early nineteenth century.
Faith Marie Domergue was an American film and television actress. Discovered at age 16 by media and aircraft mogul Howard Hughes, she was signed to a contract with Hughes's RKO Radio Pictures and cast as the lead in the studio's thriller Vendetta, which had a troubled four-year production before finally being released in 1950.
