Wikipedia calls this a “comedy drama war film,” but I think they need to add “bawdy” in there somewhere.

This was yet another time I wish I knew Spanish. If I did, I could have watched a talkie where Delores del Rio (1630 Vine Street) was the lead, instead of a synchronized sound movie where she’s “the pretty girl” in a love triangle with the two lead actors.

I didn’t quite match the font for this fake poster, but I think it still works. Please enjoy my half-assed “colorization.”
