Under the Pampas Moon, also known as The Gaucho, is a 1935 romantic western film directed by James Tinling, starring Warner Baxter and Ketti Gallian. Baxter plays an Argentine gaucho. Rita Hayworth also had an early role in the film. The film has been cited as a "ludicrously dated essay into South American caricature".
The womanizing gaucho Cesar Campo lives a carefree life on the Pampas. However when a plane lands nearby he meets an attractive French singer and her unscrupulous fiancée who is so impressed by Cesar's horse that he arranges to have it stolen to enter in a horse race under a false name. Cesar pursues them to Buenos Aires and after a flirtation with the French singer and a series of culture clashs in sophisticated hotels and restaurants he rescues the horse and returns home.
