"General Dupre" by Ariel
"One of the most dashing and romantic heroes of all time rides again..."
"The Robin Hood of the Old West" from the O. Henry story
Oh, heck, we thought they meant Bruce but it was really the Cisco Kid....
"General Martin Dupre" by Israfel
Oh,
Pancho... Oh, Cisco... Those who have seen reruns of the
old "Cisco Kid" with Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo will find this
updated film
version based on the classic TV show a bit different and more
roguish. Call us old-fashioned but we prefer the TV series to the
Jimmy Smits/Cheech
Marin version.
Well, that is, except
for one
thing...Bruce is in this version. Gee, that does make a difference,
doesn't it? 
Bruce
plays General St.
Martin Dupre, a General who was part of the French occupation in
1867. Understandably, the local residents weren't too happy
about being told what to do by the French. Hey, the French may
make great champagne
and
creme brulee but French rule was
probably about as welcome as an angsty French movie with subtitles and
no plot would be in Keokuk, Iowa. Maybe even less.
We, however, can enjoy the sight of General Dupre in his spiffy military uniform, disdainfully looking down his nose at the peasants, as only Bruce can do so well. Bruce is good at hauteur, as he amply demonstrates elsewhere, for example, as Domitian in The Apocalypse. For those who have not yet seen this film, we apologize for the following spoiler: the General is very naughty. Not only does he try to do in the Cisco Kid, he gets way too fresh with his niece, as one of the pics below shows. Bad boy. But you weren't really surprised, were you? We didn't think so.
