Rita Moreno appears at the beginning of the film as a Mexican cantina singer/dancer. Director Hathaway took special pains to use the stunning vistas of the Mexican locations to show off the CinemaScope screen dimensions to best effect. ## Credits - **Director:** [Henry Hathaway](https://cinepixo.com/people/henry-hathaway) - **Screenplay:** [Frank Fenton](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-fenton) - **Original Music Composer:** [Bernard Herrmann](https://cinepixo.com/people/bernard-herrmann) - **Producer:** [Charles Brackett](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-brackett) - **Director of Photography:** [Milton Krasner](https://cinepixo.com/people/milton-krasner) - **Editor:** [James B.
