回复 :When school teacher Harriet Winslow goes to Mexico to teach, she is kidnapped by Gen. Tomas Arroyo and his revolutionaries. An aging American, Ambrose "Old Gringo" Bierce also in Mexico, befriends Gen. Arroyo and meets Harriet. Bierce is a famous writer, who knowing that he is dying, wishes to keep his identity secret so he can determine his own fate. Though he likes Arroyo, Bierce tries to provoke the General's anger whenever possible in an attempt to get himself killed, thus avoiding suffering through his illness. Winslow is intrigued by both Bierce and Arroyo, and the men are in turn attracted to her. She becomes romantically involved with Arroyo. When Winslow learns of Bierce's true identity (a writer whose work she has loved and respected for years), she is singlemindedly determined to fulfill his dying wish.

回复 :一个刚刚从精神病院放出的年轻人，很容易被当作是杀人狂。这个悲剧几乎让人无法痛恨影片结尾误杀了彼得的探长，这是一个误会的死环。没有哪个角色要背负观众的诅咒和痛恨（也许应该是彼得的母亲），是这个社会的惯常势力观念，让所有人都觉得，疯狂、精神病态就应该是杀人暴力的嫌疑犯。没有人辩解，精神非常态的不知道辩解，偶尔或许有人无力地辩解——就像这部几乎不知名的影片。
