On location, Brown did little to smooth the situation, which took on unfortunate racial overtones. At lunch he growled at her: "Pass the salt; it isn't black." She and Brown finally stopped talking altogether. The picture was execrable. But it cost only $6 million and raked in money. Another south-of-the-border oater, Bandolero, gave Raquel the opportunity to demand of Dean Martin, "How duss...
