The film captures his exploits, both military and romantic, and though it does not overlook his occasional violence, the story's rendition of events is fairly sympathetic to his character. [More]

Reviews for Viva Villa
Though Jack Conway gets creit, it's Howard Hawks who's responsible for this exciting biopic of the legendary revolutionary leader, well played by Wallace Beery, and one of MGM's biggest hits of 1934.
In casting the homely Wallace Beery as one of the heroes of the Mexican Revolution, Hollywood announced its intentions: they weren't going to take it seriously.
