mikequinlan61 Let me lay it out for you... a western with a Hispanic star, #1. A Western where the star is a criminal, not just mistaken for a criminal, #2. A Western where our hero makes a play for the saloon girl, 'girlfriend' of the bad guy, and rides off into the sunset with her?, #3. A Western where the 'bad guy' (with wanted posters all over the place) is the good guy by default at the end? Cesar Romero steps into the boots of the Cisco Kid (taking over the role from Warner Baxter) in this western that finds the Kid safeguarding the claim of a murdered prospector. Later, with the deceased prospector's orphaned daughter the rightful heir to a profitable mine, the Kid places the child in the care of a pretty schoolteacher, who has eyes for another man.The funny twists and turns of this action oater kept me entertained throughout. Cesar Romero was great and the supporting cast was fine as well, and the film is smartly paced and cleverly plotted. Good fun!
ctomvelu1 I grew up with Duncan Renaldo as O. Henry's The Cisco Kid and and Leo Carillo as his sidekick Pancho, so watching toothy Caesar Romero in the title role and Chris-Pin Martin as his sidekick "Gordito," came as quite a shock. I have also seen Warner Baxter as the Kid, but for me, Renaldo will always be Cisco. This lighthearted romp, little more than a filler piece, has Cisco rescuing a baby and keeping the bad guys at bay. Very little action. Mostly, we watch Romero grin his way through a series of scenes, including a badly staged dance number that seems to go on forever. I am trying to remember if this Cisco Kid ever took his hat off for anything. This is a historic curiosity rather than a must-see. Future cowboy star and one of Dinah Shore's spouses, George Montgomery, costars.
froberts73 If you are looking for deep, hit the Atlantic. "The Cisco Kid and the Lady" is a lighthearted western, one of many flicks about the O Henry western hero.Cesar Romero looks and acts the part and act is the proper word since, in real life, "The Cisco Kid and the Man" would be more appropriate.Still, his performance, like his hair and teeth, is perfect. He seems to have enjoyed himself, and all can enjoy veteran Chris Pin Martin as the Kid's answer to Gabby Hayes and Smiley Burnette (with whom I had the pleasure of spending a day).One of the interesting things about the picture is that it is early George Montgomery. He looks like a western high school senior.The ladies are pretty, the kid is cute, the horses are well groomed. There is not much action, but there is a good story and it is a fun way to spend about 75 minutes.In this picture, as in a later one, Romero is quite a 'joker'.
donahue-1 Classic B Western. However - I thought that I'd respond to two earlier conflicting reviews concerning The Three Godfathers. One reviewer was correct in that this theme is very much similar to The Three Godfathers - 1936 - starring Chester Morris. If you want to see an excellent western - please check out Chester Morris in the 1936 (original). In my opinion it is "harder and gritter" and better than the 1948 John Ford remake with John Wayne. Also - it boasts - two of the best supporting actors in the business - Lewis Stone and Walter Brennen. Having said all of this - The Cisco Kid and The Lady is still an excellent "oater" and fun to watch. Enjoy.
