Melissa Liaw & Amanda Tee - Desperado (Set1 - 10/11)

I remember watching the first two Desperado movies on NBC--there was a pretty brunette in the first movie. Apparently 5 such movies were made? I don't know if they used the Carpenters cover for the movie, or a version sung by another woman. I also learned that Elmore Leonard was the creator of the character and screenplay for the first movie. (And only the first?)

Apparently Lise Cutter played the love interest, Nora Malloy, and she was a red-head in the movie. That's what I get for watching it on a B/W TV.
