This 1951 comic farce with songs, & STARRING
Pedro Infante & Luis Aguilar------- is a MUST see film.
Yes,there have been over the years many buddy type movies. some were heavy dramas & some comedies, & a few farces among them./
This is a farce done in the best tradition of farce,keep the action moving, as we don't want to let the audience know how silly the story is.
In the tradition of good farces, there must be elements of sadness & there are a few. This is really a love story of 2 men & this being 1951,they cannot express these feelings. Besides the censors & the actors heritage,these feelings could only be hinted at.
Pedro Infante who died tragically in a plane crash in 1957 was a superb actor & singer as well. Luis Aguilar made films until the 1990's, he too was a very fine actor & singer. They were a great team There are a few lovely ladies present as well & they too, are very good in there roles.
Only real complaint is I felt it ran a bit too long especially in the last 20 minutes or so, a wee bit of tightening would have helped.
The songs done by both actors fit the scenes very well.
This is a well made film, I enjoyed it,
RatingsL: *** (out of 4) 88 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10) ++
++ Farces rarely get a much higher rating than this.
