Though Rafael Portillo is credited with directing this hot, dusty story of cockfighting and cocksmanship, some sources suggest that in fact the sultry Isela Vega directed and wrote Una Gallina muy ponedora (1981). Maybe she likes to be both in front of and behind the camera. Look for Mexican film legend Emilio "El Indio" Fernández (Mapache in The Wild Bunch [1969]) in one of his later roles.
