The Wind (1959 film)

The Wind is a 1959 Spanish-American western film directed by Nathan H. Juran and starring Cornel Wilde, Martha Hyer, and José Nieto. The film, shot in Spain, tells the story of a cowboy, Cory, who is framed for a crime he did not commit. He escapes from the authorities and finds himself in the middle of a range war between sheep ranchers and cattlemen. The titular "wind" refers to the powerful, ever-present wind that dominates the landscape and influences the characters' lives and actions. The film is notable for its stark portrayal of the harsh environment and its exploration of themes of justice, survival, and redemption in the Old West. While not widely acclaimed upon its release, The Wind has gained a small following over the years for its visual style and its gritty depiction of frontier life.
