Member Rating:  
The title of this Mexican musical comedy translates to School For Tramps. Singing idol Pedro Infante heads the cast, essaying his usual carefree-vagabond characterization. Though he has nary a peso to his name, Infante nonetheless pursues a successful romance with well-to-do Miroslava (who tragically killed herself just before this film was released). Thanks to the star power of Infante and the public's curiosity concerned Miroslava's death, Esenela de Vagabundos was one of Mexico's biggest box-office hits in 1955. Certain viewers with long memories recognized the similarities between this film and the 1933 Al Jolson vehicle Hallelujah, I'm a Bum. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This movie is in Spanish with no subtitles. So beware. My husband and I don't speak spanish but we loved this film anyway. It is delightful. The plot is fun and easy to follow. Granted, we missed a lot of the jokes and we were never quite sure what one of the subplots was about. But Pedro Infante is a delight to watch and how he gets his girl in this movie is wonderful.
