Wanda Nevada
A PRO & A CON. The rest is history.
Directed by Peter Fonda
Produced by United Artists, Hayward-Fonda Productions
A 1950s Southwest adventure about an unlikely bond between a cynical drifter and a spirited young girl as they pursue treasure while evading danger.
In the American Southwest of the 1950s, middle-aged vagabond Beaudray Demerille survives as a cardsharp who moves from town to town. But his latest victory brings him unwanted spoils in the form of Wanda Nevada, a fiery 13-year-old. At first Beaudray does everything he can to ditch Wanda -- until the girl chances upon a treasure map. But Wanda and Beaudray aren't the only ones after the loot, and they must contend with a ruthless pair of crooks.
