As the years passed , the aesthetics of Indio Fernández began to be viewed as old fashioned by critics , who called his films " precious " and accused Fernandez of showing the world a false image of Mexico . By the mid-1950s , the films of Fernández fell into obscurity as he was supplanted by other notable Mexican film directors like Luis Buñuel . Fernández returned to his role as actor . Although he did little directing in the 1960s , he had several roles as an actor , appearing in : '' The Soldiers of Pancho Villa '' ( 1959 ) , '' La bandida '' ( 1962 ) ; '' The Night of the Iguana '' ( 1964 , directed by John Huston , where he shared credits with Richard Burton and Ava Gardner ) ; '' Return of the Seven '' ( 1966 ) ; '' The Appaloosa '' ( 1966 , with Marlon Brando ) , among many others . His 1967 film '' A Faithful Soldier of Pancho Villa '' was entered into the 5th Moscow International Film Festival . He also acted in three films directed by Sam Peckinpah : '' The Wild Bunch '' ( 1969 ) , '' Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid '' ( 1973 ) , and '' Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia '' ( 1974 )
