Standout Aspects

Acting

Julio Alemán and Luis Aguilar's buddy chemistry carries the whole thing.

Score

Ranchera numbers that slap harder than the plot demands.

Best for:Friends: Drinking game: sip every time someone bursts into song unprovoked.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while vaguely absorbing revolution-era vibes.·Rewatch: Cult classic status for Mexican cinema completists only.
