Bullfighter and the Lady Overview:
Bullfighter and the Lady (1951) was a Drama - Romance Film directed by Budd Boetticher and produced by John Wayne and Budd Boetticher.
SYNOPSIS
A visiting American filmmaker vacationing in Mexico convinces the area's foremost bullfighter to give him lessons so that he may impress a beautiful local senorita. Unfortunately, the romantic interlude turns into sadness when the cocky and cavalier attitude of the amorous American toward the dangerous sport accidentally causes the death of the famous matador. Tragically, the director later spent time in Mexico, as in the story, and ironically his trip ended with the accidental death of the star bullfighter Carlos Arruza.
