Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Two of Spain's leading film personalities - star Carmen Sevila and director Juan Antonio Bardem - pool their talents for La Venganza. The Steinback-like scenario finds Sevila playing the sister of Raf Vallone, a recently released convict. Convinced that one of a group of migrant workers betrayed her brother to the authorities, Sevila insists that Vallone seek revenge. Complications begin piling up when the girl falls in love with the so-called informer (Jorge Mistral). La Venganza was one of Spain's entries in the Cannes Film Festival of 1958.
