Savage Pampas is a 1966 western film directed by Hugo Fregonese and starring Robert Taylor, Ron Randell and Marc Lawrence.[1] The film was a co-production between Argentina, Spain and the United States, and was a remake of the 1945 Argentine film of the same title which Fregonese had co-directed.[2][3] The film's location shooting took place in Spain, a popular location for westerns during the era. The film's action is set in the Argentinian Pampas around the time of the Conquest of the Desert.
