Valdez Is Coming

Tight-lipped Mexican lawman Bob Valdez (Burt Lancaster) is a deputy sheriff in an American frontier town overrun by racism. When a ruthless gang slays an innocent victim and wrongs Valdez one time too many, he takes up arms and goes after the gang’s leader. “Tell him Valdez is coming,” he growls. Widely considered an “anti-Western,” the film was adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel and shot on location in Spain.
