Los Guerrilleros is a 1963 Spanish musical adventure film directed by Pedro Luis Ramírez. The motion picture marks the cinematic acting debuts of prominent Spanish singers Manolo Escobar and Rocío Jurado, who star alongside Alfredo Mayo, Gracita Morales, and Manolo Gómez Bur.
Plot Set in 1808 during the Peninsular War, the plot follows the aftermath of the French sacking of Córdoba. A detachment of Napoleon's Grand Armée, led by the ruthless Colonel Tenardier, marches toward Andújar to reinforce General Dupont before a decisive battle against Spanish forces.
As French occupying forces sweep through the region, local guerrilla cells form in resistance across various Spanish towns. In the village of Montoro, an innkeeper named La Salvadora (Rocío Jurado) and a former mayoral named José Manuel (Manolo Escobar) organize the townspeople. Together, they orchestrate an array of intricate distractions, including bullfighting spectacles and flamenco dancing displays, to lure the French troops into a sudden local rebellion and thwart their military objective.
