About This Movie

Belle of Old Mexico is quite the curious blend of comedy, music, and Western. R.G. Springsteen directs with a light touch, bringing to life a story about Kip Artmitage III, played by Robert Rockwell, who takes on a rather unusual responsibility after a friend's death. The film practically dances with its lively musical numbers, interspersed with some comedic moments that feel quite warm and inviting. The pacing meanders, giving you a chance to soak in the atmosphere of the Old West, with its vibrant sets and charming practical effects that capture that era nicely. The performances are engaging, particularly Rockwell’s, who brings a soft sincerity to his character's quest. There’s a quaint charm to the whole affair, making it an interesting watch for collectors.

A unique combination of genres.Features notable musical numbers.Interesting character-driven story.
