Description:
Pablo Braganza is a Mexican bandit who is inspired by an American gangster film to reorganize his outlaw gang to Chicago standards and practices. Also a music lover, Pablo kidnaps young opera singer Chivo because he likes his voice. Pablo then forces Chivo to capture the son of an American millionaire and his fiancee. When the rich boy escapes solo, the gay desperado serenades the fiery girlfriend amid every sort of chaos. Young and spunky Ida Lupino and Metropolitan Opera tenor Nino Martini star in this hilariously eccentric musical comedy by the great Rouben Mamoulian (Queen Christina, Love Me Tonight). This is a joyride of a movie!

Rating: - Delightful
A romantic comedy set in old Mexico complete with moonlight desert nights, cactus silhouettes, and enjoyable music. Life-loving Leo Carrillo (Cisco's Kid's Poncho) misguidedly decides to modernize his bandito operation (sombreros, guitars, and burros) after watching American gangster films. The plot twists playfully from that premise into kidnapping and matchmaking. Every bit as delightful as Mamoulian's 'Love Me Tonight' in its loving attention to detail, this film is a visual pleasure.
