The Great Adventure (Spanish: La Gran aventura) is a 1974 Argentine action film comedy directed by Emilio Vieyra. The film stars Víctor Bó, Graciela Alfano and Ricardo Bauleo. The film marked the end of Vieyra's contract with Pel-Mex, and start of collaboration with producers Aries Cinematográfica Argentina and other small producers. The film features a Dollars trilogy-type whistling and gun-firing score.
Although the director Emilio Vieyra was often criticized and his films dismissed by critics, The Great Adventure was a commercial success and considered a "blockbuster". Fernando Gabriel Varea in his 2006 book El cine argentino durante la dictadura militar, 1976/1983 described the film as a "super super adventure", "sort of cross between James Bond and the Three Stooges". The Great Adventure was also the first of several of Vieyra's films which featured fish and dolphins.
