![]() ![]() As to the picture, I really enjoyed it -also because I lived in Salta a couple of years and the landscape is very familiar to me- but I think a real classical epic could have come out of Nicolai Gogol's famous novel with a more elaborated script (as a reviewer correctly stated here). Another reviewer says Tony Curtis declared once that when he and co-star Kristine Kaufmann got mixed up during the filming he was already divorced of Janet Leigh I don't know about that but I can assure you that Leigh came to Salta with him (a friend of mine has a photo with her on the "cerros"). As a native Argentine I must say that's not correct the pampas run all through the middle part of our Country but this film was shot in the Province of Salta way up in the northern part of Argentina (some 1400 miles from Buenos Aires) the pampas are a huge flat ground very fertile, but Salta is uneven with not too high hills ("cerros") very different from the pampas. I've seen the reviews here and a couple of comments set "Taras Bulba"'s location in the Argentine pampas. ![]()
