You may call this a Robin Hood Mexican western. Actually is a great comedy with 2 cantinflas (thanks to the old overlapping trick), Made during his best decade (40's) when everybody was waiting impatiently for his once a year movie. And this one was no deception, so be careful because at least 3 or 4, or maybe more scenes will make you cry of laughter. It is a shame that nobody cares to make decent dvds restorations of all this great movies from the 40's and early 50s, with the exception of "ahi esta el detalle"(very well restored by televisa). Please don't see this on a bad DVD copied from a VHS, I just did and my old VHS copy is much better than the DVD. So come on televisa or whoever, preserve the culture, and start restoring all those Mexican gems.
