Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this celebrated classic of Mexican cinema, venerable character actor Alfredo del Diestro excels as the title character, an opportunistic landowner who plays both sides against the middle during the Mexican Revolution. Oozing charm, Rosalio Mendoza entertains government officers with his best cognac, then breaks out the mescal when the rebels appear. He exploits the misfortunes of his fellow gentry by marrying an impoverished young beauty whose charms will draw a handsome rebel general closer into their circle with dire consequences. This 1933 feature was the second installment of the "Revolution Trilogy" from Fernando de Fuentes, director of VAMONOS CON PANCHO VILLA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another chameleon on stage! , September 24, 2007
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

For some spirits who still believe in utopian fables which remain under the carpet of the history, this legendary Mexican film might become a slap in the face and the beginning of a crude disappointment.

An opportunist landowner, bets for the possibility to remain loyal to a general in Zapata's Army, with an unique double purpose: to save his own skin and to avoid from being financially ruined.

And don't forget the famous utterance: " Each revolution is like Saturn , devours his own sons, to preserve itself. "
