	Old Gringo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Old Gringo is a 1989 film starring Jane Fonda, Gregory Peck, and Jimmy Smits.
		They use her luggage to smuggle weapons to the servants at the Miranda hacienda, who in turn aid the attacking revolutionary army of General Tomas Arroyo (Jimmy Smits).
		During the attack, a sardonic "Old Gringo," who is really American author Ambrose Bierce (Gregory Peck), joins in the fighting on the side of the revolution, operating the track switch that ensures a railroad flatcar laden with explosives reaches its target.

		The story centers around the Old Man or Old Gringo (who is not openly identified as Ambrose Bierce until the end) and his relationship with a young single American woman, Harriet, and General Tomas Arroyo.
		To be a Gringo in Mexico--ah, that is euthanasia!
		Fuentes and the tragic chorus of Mexican characters elevate the tale of the Old Gringo to the status of myth; ironic, since Bierce is barely remembered here, but then one of his themes is that we are a people without memory, while the very soil of Mexico carries memories.

	DVD Savant Review: Old Gringo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Old Gringo is a terrific historical drama of the kind Hollywood had abandoned in 1989, when Batman was the movie to beat.
		If Old Gringo commits any movie sin, it's in making its story the star, and daring to be faithful to a literary source rather than spinning off in some commercial direction.
		I wish I could see the image of Peck as the Old Gringo waving from the railway switch, or eating a tamale while shaving himself at a makeshift mirror, among his fellow Villistas.

		Unlike the character known as the Old Man or the Old Gringo in the novel, Ambrose Bierce is immediately identified by name and is immediately recognizable by character traits.
		Here, the Old Gringo is all that one would expect Ambrose Bierce to be -- abusive, arrogant, conflicted, bitter, supremely sarcastic and, strangely enough, admirable.
		Because the events of the film occur during the revolution in Mexico, one might be tempted to think of Old Gringo as an action oriented war film.

		Harriet gets attached to the witty old man, but she never knows who he is until near the end of the story.
		Pardon the snobbery, but there were probably many a moviegoer who had no idea who Bierce was, and sadly, Old Gringo needed to dumb things down a bit; the mysterious Bierce angle just doesn't work, especially since the film remains pretty dumb on its own, and chiefly because nothing really happens.
		Had Bierce been alive when Old Gringo was released, he could have utilized his famous quote: "Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." Only this time, Bierce wouldn't regret it.

		I was afraid that at 51, Jane Fonda would be at least a decade too old to play Harriet, but she actually looks right most of the time, slightly worn but constantly engaged with the swirl of activities around her.
		The Old Gringo--an historically-based novel by Mexican diplomat, intellectual and author Carlos Fuentes--is a sensitive, complex, and ultimately satisfying portrayal of the Mexican people and a core period in their history.
		Not only is the acting intense and heartfelt, but also the hemisphere is turned upside down and one is allowed in for a moment to a world that trips to modern resort beaches can never access--the passionate, fascinating, suffering, poverty-stricken, and tempted-to-revolution nature of life in Latin America.
