12/01/2015 6.8 [Luis Buñuel] [Mx] See more 04/12/2014 another winner from early bunuel. See more 05/24/2010 Watch this if you want to complete Bunuel's filmography. It's really nothing special except that it was Bunuel's first Mexican film. Can't put the fault in the great director, he had no creative freedom at the time. See more 03/18/2010 the opening, in the prison, and the accompanying song almost seem reminiscent of leningrad cowboys. the best parts are the cartoony aspects: the backdrop paintings, 3 backup singers who just mysteriously appear... it really does feel playfully surreal at times. unfortunately, whoever put this dvd out did not translate the songs! there's around 5 songs and they appear to be worked into the plot, but i can't really say. See more 09/25/2009 It seems to be primarily a showcase for Negrete, a sort of hispanic Dean Martin with rakish charm, macho (but not too macho) swagger, and a good set of pipes. It's utterly predictable and the sets are kind of cheap, but it's passable as light entertainment. It's just so out of place in the Bunuel ouevre, then again so are a lot of his other Mexican director-for-hire films. This is probably the least interesting of them, however, with only one or two brief glimpses of the Bunuel we know and love. See more 03/19/2009 Chances are you're going to be a Bunuel aficionado if you see this. I can't say that I am but i relatively enjoyed it. Lacked a bit of the surrealist touch that we come to expect and hope for but remains important in the context of his films in Mexico. See more Read all reviews
