Two men who fought on opposite sides of the Mexican Revolution continue their battles in private life. They both love the same woman, Maria Felix, a fiery prostitute who can't decide which one she really wants so plays them both. There is not one, not two, but three cockfights to endure, a barbaric cultural relic that I had to fast forward through each time. To his credit, one of the men carries his rooster around with him at all times and seems genuinely concerned with his well being, throwing in the towel when defeated in the final fight to save his life. The two stubborn men refuse to back down from their rather petty differences, stupidly deciding their fates in a game of Russian roulette.
