The only reason I'm keen to see this is the presence of perhaps the greatest american director that eer lived. I think the title kind of represents the sort of films hollywood made him do to keep him employed.
In the Third Man he apparently changed parts of the script-is there any Orson material in here? Is this one of those little lost gems that are dismissed because of it's title?
I'm not sure if Welles changed the script or anything like that, but I thought he was excellent in the film as Colonel Cascorro. Tepepa is an excellent film (Although you may not like it if you not familiar with the spaghetti western or Zapata western sub-genre). Some of the film is a little bit over the top, but its still quite good.

Orson Welles was good hes only on screen for about 20 minutes of the whole movie so it didnt seem like he had much involvement in the script. Tomas Milian is great though ,its worth seeing just for him.
