The Americano is a 1955 American Western movie, starring Glenn Ford and directed by William Castle.
Texas rancher Sam Dent (Glenn Ford) takes a small herd of three Brahman bulls to Brazil, where he has sold them for a small fortune. There, he finds himself in the middle of a range war, as well as in love. Following this, he must find out who are his friends and who are his enemies.
Much of the movie was filmed in Brazil in 1955. Abbe Lane's musical number was supervised by her husband, Xavier Cugat.
