The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Marva
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Beautiful Maria Felix must choose between two macho men--Emilio Fernandez or Pedro Armendariz--in this in-artful but colorful romantic musical from director Roberto Rodriguez, the man also responsible for perhaps the worst film ever made, 1961's Puss 'n' Boots (please read my review of that film for more information). How will she decide? By checking out their cocks, of course--but the fighting kind, not the other kind. Though set during the late days of the Mexican Revolution, this is most decidedly a crowd-pleaser, with even less emphasis on historical accuracy than Armendariz' Pancho Villa trilogy. There's an unfortunate reliance on the zoom lens and Gabriel Figueroa's cinematography is not up too his usual high standards. The English subtitles are surprisingly frank, with the words 's**t", f**k', 'c**k', and (best of all) 'c**k ring' all appearing at least once.
