Way of a Gaucho (1952) watch online

Way of a Gaucho is a 1952 American Western drama film directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Gene Tierney and Rory Calhoun. It was written by Philip Dunne and based on a novel by Herbert Childs.

The film was made by 20th Century Fox and shot on location in Argentina. It was one of a growing trend of runaway productions which saw American production shift away from Hollywood to other countries, particularly Britain and Italy, where the Hollywood studios had large amounts of money frozen because of currency controls. During World War II the Argentinian market had remained open to Hollywood films and Fox had built up significant earnings which they were unable to spend outside the country.

The film failed to make a profit on its release. The story portrays the adventures of an Argentine rebel gaucho, a South American cattleman considered a variant of the Mexican vaquero and the American cowboy.
