A south-of-the border oater most appropriate for those who remember the days when Mickey Rooney was one of the absolute biggest box office draws, for those who love Robert Preston and want to see him in an earlier film role, and for anyone who only came to love Robert Stack in The Untouchables and so then became motivated to see his earlier but less familiar film work, this is a fun matinée flick! A serious Preston, Stack not as the Elliot Ness type of good guy, but as a seriously evil and duplicitous villain, and Rooney providing the necessary comedic relief when needed. One surprise element you can see coming, one you cannot -- good fisticuffs, some stupid moves by the good guys, and some nice shoot-outs, all in black and white, what more do you need to go get the popcorn ready?
