Description of this Sierra Torride Poster
Sierra Torride is a 1970 American-Mexican Panavision western film directed by Don Siegel and starring Shirley MacLaine (who appears above Clint Eastwood in the film’s credits, but not on the poster), set during the French intervention in Mexico (1861-1867). The film was to be the first of a five-year exclusive partnership between Universal Pictures and Sanen Productions of Mexico. It was the second of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following Coogan’s Bluff (1968). The collaboration continued with The Beguiled and Dirty Harry (both 1971) and finally Escape from Alcatraz (1979).
The plot follows an American mercenary who becomes entangled with a nun and aids a group of Juarista rebels during Emperor Maximilian’s puppet reign in Mexico. The film stars American and Mexican actors and is shot in the picturesque countryside near Tlayacapan, Morelos. Ennio Morricone composed the film’s score.
Just after the Civil War, a former soldier named Hogan (Clint Eastwood) comes across a naked woman about to be raped by bandits. He kills the bandits and discovers that the woman is a nun, Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine), who is raising money to help Mexican revolutionaries fighting against the occupying French forces. When Sara asks Hogan to take her to the Mexican camp, he agrees, as he had already arranged to help the revolutionaries attack the French garrison in exchange for half of the garrison’s treasure.
As the duo heads toward the camp, avoiding French troops, Hogan is surprised to see the nun swearing and drinking whiskey. While en route to destroy a French munitions train, Hogan is targeted by Indians and seriously wounded by an arrow. Sara manages to treat his wounds and place the charges that Hogan detonates to destroy the train. The two men eventually reach the camp of the Juarista commander, Colonel Beltran. Sara begs the local villagers for the money needed to buy dynamite for the assault on the garrison. Before the attack, Sara reveals to Hogan that she is not a nun, but a prostitute posing as one because she is wanted by the French for her support of the revolutionaries. Although Hogan is shocked, the two men team up to infiltrate the fort and let a squad of revolutionaries enter through a trapdoor, while two other squads attack the gates and a fourth acts as snipers.
They expected the French army to be drunk for Bastille Day, but the destruction of the train put the garrison on high alert. Hogan and Sara infiltrate the fortress by posing as a bounty hunter who has captured Sara and delivers her for the reward. The ruse works, and Hogan and Sara engage the French commanders while the garrison gates are breached to allow Mexican revolutionary forces to pour through. A battle ensues, the French are defeated, and the Mexicans capture the fort. As promised, Hogan receives half the riches. Now wealthy and having completed his work, Hogan leaves with Sara, with whom he has fallen in love, to open a gambling house in San Francisco.
