Viva Zapata, 1952
Viva Zapata, 1952 It was a pretty good picture but I think Kazan made a mistake in not requiring everyone in the cast to speak with a Mexican accent. I affected a slight one but it wasn't well done, and most of the other actors spoke standard English, which made it seem artificial.
