annihilation of the Aztec world. |

God I have
to see this!!!! Robert Powell playing Hernan Cortez??? I can
understand why La Malinche betrayed her people for him (who wouldn't?).
This is
certainly a
must-seen but I've been unable to find it. It was shown on tv and it's
based on Arthur Miller's eponyme play.

Favorite Scenes |
| As
I haven't seen it I can't but speculate. If they are truly with history
I'd love to see "La noche triste", Cortez' only defeat. |
