Rating:  - ONE GREAT ACTION MOVIE, OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!
This is one great action movie, it features a good script, the movie has a very good pace, and even though it is a fictional story, it is a very interesting way of bringing the World's problems into Mexico's very own's... Germans, Italians and Japanese planning to reach the US through Mexico, they just didn't count with one person, the Bandido Lupe Padilla!
Rating:  - A Fun Early Emilio Fernandez Film
Fernandez's camera shows the influence of Eisenstein, and his storyline certainly follows like an early Hitchcock film.

It's never quite serious or smoothly produced, but that gives it some of its charm. I think what I like best about Soy Puro Mexicano ... Read More
Rating: - a cinematic marvel
This fabulous classic has everything ! Taking place during World War 2, it has spies, bandits, wonderful music (performed by Pedro Vargas, and more...) a lot of humor, gorgeous cinematography (though a little grainy at times, the beauty of this film makes its age insignificant), and the stunning and exquisitely graceful Raquel Rojas doing a Flamenco number that's one of the lovliest ever captured on film.
Pedro Armendariz is spectacular. His charisma, strength, and comedic timing are absolutely ... Read More
Rating: - Great Classic
This film is a "Classic", and for Pedro Almendarez fans, it is one not to miss. The film takes place during the war years (early '40's). It is a mystery, comedy, romance, adventure, and more.Pero mas que nada, "da mucho ser Mexicano". No se la pierdan.
