No basta ser charro

About This Movie

So, 'No basta ser charro' is a charming little comedy from '46 that has this laid-back vibe, typical of its era. You’ve got a farmhand who cleverly plays up his resemblance to a popular movie star, which sets the stage for a series of humorous escapades as he tries to win over his boss's daughter. The pacing feels leisurely, but it allows the characters to breathe and develop, making the comedic beats land more effectively. The performances are light and engaging, with a certain warmth that adds to the overall atmosphere. This film captures the essence of post-war Mexican cinema's playfulness, making it a unique piece for any collector's library.

This film has seen a few releases over the years, but finding an original print can be a bit of a hunt since it doesn’t pop up as often as others from the same period. Collector interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate the subtleties of Mexican comedy from the 40s. The availability of good quality versions can vary, so it's worth digging into obscure markets or specialized shops if you're keen on adding this one to your collection.
