Pancho Villa Slept Here

Format: 16mm

Complete Record: Archival annotation: "The cameras trace the footsteps of the most fascinating and mysterious figure of the Mexican revolution--also using historic newsreel footage and still pictures--to tell the story of the revolution and of the bandit turned hero. Cutting a violent path across northern Mexico, Pancho Villa became a human enigma, a man of a million faces. Killing, loving, fighting for the cause of the poor people, Pancho Villa--more than any other man of his time--embodied the spirit of the Mexican revolution. Luz Coral, Pancho Villa's second of 52 wives, still lives in the family home in Chihuahua City. She gave a vivid first-hand account of the Pancho Villa she knew and loved, to assist WGTV in making this film." --WGTV description as quoted in Atlanta Journal, April 12, 1970.
