Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

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 arise 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, and was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Academy Award.

4 of 5 Deserved Its Foreign-Language Oscar Nomination March 3, 2019
Reviewer: Chris Kuykendall from Austin, TX United States  
This 1959 release is distinguished by being (1) directed by Javier Bardem's uncle and (2) the first movie from Spain to have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film. It's in color, unusual for foreign movies of that time, and the color camera work is well done. The plot and character interplay are not over-complicated. En toto, the Oscar nomination is deserved.
