I knew about the existence of this movie since I was a child, but I only saw it now in 2024. It seems that Luis Aguilar, the protagonist, was a very popular Mexican actor. Anyway, he played in a lot of movies. This Mexican Clark Gable plays deserter-turned-bandit Juan Robreño (Pies de gato). Next to him, the Mexican actress Rita Macedo. The film is a mixture of comedy and melodrama, sprinkled with some songs performed by Luis Aguilar himself, who was also a singer. The film is the story of a band of merry bandits, whose deeds are more entertaining than despicable, and it seems to have been a big hit in Mexico, thanks to the popularity of Aguilar and his lead actress, Rita Macedo, who plays his girlfriend in the film, Mariana del Sauz. The events take place in the different social strata of the time, sketching portraits of counts, marquises, potentates, soldiers, artisans, merchants, Indians, clerics, thieves.
