'Adios Cjamango' ('Los Rebeldes de Arizona') tells the story of a young couple, Allan Cjamango and Peggy Morgan, who are getting married at the beginning. While they are dancing and celebrating, their house is burned down. The men responsible for that are railway agents; the house was simply in the way of a new railroad track. Mr and Mrs Cjamango are now homeless and drifting through various adventures in a script that treats them really mean: their horses are stolen, they are mistaken for stagecoach robbers, sentenced to hanging, escape with the help of former enemy, lose their horses again, and so on. When they think it couldn't possibly get worse, it starts to rain... Former baddie Rudy turns meanwhile into a nice guy when he falls in love.

This movie is best described as patchwork: assembled from all things you could imagine to happen in a western and featuring a rather large cast of characters from Apache Indians to Mexican farmers. The music seems to be inserted at random, tension is lacking. Many pieces do not always make a complete puzzle. Stars are Carlos Quiney and Claudia Gravy, connoisseurs of the Italian western may remember her from Cesare Canevari's masterpiece 'Matalo!'. I voted 3/10.
