  • Filmat în: el Cóndor fortress

El Condor is a 1970 American Western film directed by John Guillermin. Luke and Jaroo lead a band of Apaches against a fortress commanded by Chavez. The fortress is said to contain the gold reserves of Emperor Maximilian.

Production

The film was financed by National General Pictures, which in October 1968 announced it had purchased Steven Carabatsos' original script and would make the film the following March. Filming was pushed back; in April 1969, National General announced the movie as part of a slate of 13 films it would make, costing $35 million in all. John Guillermin was attached to direct.

The studio had recently made a film called Daddy's Gone A-Hunting based on a script by Larry Cohen. Cohen says the studio decided to make the movie, built a fort and town in Almería, Spain, then decided they disliked the script; they paid Cohen to travel to Spain and write a new film around the existing sets. Cohen wrote a script they were happy with and Jim Brown and Lee Van Cleef were cast.

The casting of the two leads was announced in July 1969. Filming started in October 1969. Swedish actress Ewa Aulin, who had been in Candy, was originally meant to play the female lead Claudine. However, she quit the film, refusing to film nude scenes. She was replaced by Mariana Hill who said she would go nude: "If it's done well".

Cohen says that director Guillermin and producer Andre de Toth did not get along, in part because the latter wanted to direct. According to Cohen, de Toth took over from René Clément, the director on his previous movie Play Dirty, and wanted to do the same thing again. The conflict resulted in Guillermin and de Toth having a fistfight.
