The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (1982)
PG 29 Jun 1982 • Comedy, Drama • 1h 44m
The entire cause of the problem evolves from the use of a deputy to translate. His command of Spanish is inadequate and he mistranslates what a witness tells the sheriff as to whether the real perpetrator of the crime is riding a mare (yegua) or a male horse (caballo). This error results in destroying a family and the death of an innocent man.
