In this political satire, a bearded Marxist takes over a Caribbean island, and the rest of the democratic world wants him ousted. To do this, they assign the owner of a razor company to lead a covert operation. He enlists the aide of a sexy stripper. Their mission is to shave the leader's beard so that he will no longer be identifiable as a Marxist. The woman dances her way into the leader's boudoir, but soon discovers that his beard is false and the new leader is really the old one in disguise. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The big top is once again the setting for lover's quarrels and jealousies in this strictly routine, somewhat old-fashioned tale by director Rovira Beleta. After the Spanish circus' sharp-shooter recruits a pretty Hungarian refugee as an assistant in his act, it does not take long for romance to blossom and eventually, to be sealed with an engagement. While the circus performer is happily looking forward to marital bliss, his intended bride inexplicably falls out of love with him and in love with his friend. He sees this as a betrayal of trust on both their parts and plans a violent revenge. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Set during the period of Spain's war of independence against Napoleon, this soapy musical melodrama would have viewers believe it was really a cabaret singer (Lola Flores) who turned the tables on the French. Thanks to the singer's intervention, the French forces are outsmarted at crucial military junctures. She works with a courier to get information through enemy lines, information that the top Spanish general needs if he is going to emerge victorious. Although the battles themselves occur off-screen, word of the balance of power is conveyed through the conversations of the leaders of the opposing forces. Meanwhile, the singer still manages to belt out her songs while saving the nation from switching from Spanish to French as its official language. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
