Costume Drama OK - Juarez

The only believable Hispanic in this film is Gilbert Roland, who possesses the natural macho personality to pull that off. The rest of the substantial cast, which is extremely talented in all other respects, are about as Hispanic as Humphrey Bogart. Lupe Velez and Delores Del Rio would have been much better female role choices. Ramon Navarro should have been in a male role. But to the film. The production values are first-rate, as Warner put their entire weight behind this film. The problem was that American audiences could care less about a Mexican struggle against Germany. And that makes us care less about the main characters as well. OK to pass an hour or so.
