A popular singing sensation leads a dangerous double life in this hilarious Spanish-language comedy starring screen sensation Tin Tin. Angel Matias (Tin Tin) is a suave man about town known for his ability to carry a good tune, but looks can be deceiving. Beneath the amiable exterior of his well-honed façade, Matias is actually a notorious diamond thief. When a concert tour of Puerto Rico goes awry and threatens to reveal the singer's true identity, desperate measures must be taken to ensure that the criminal crooner can continue to woo the crowds, and confound the authorities. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
The popular, versatile, and talented Mexican comic and singer Tin Tan (Germán Valdés) stars as a gangster in this quickly-made, low-budget comedy by Gang Leader director Rafael Baledon. Able to interpret almost any role in an innovative, original manner, Tin Tan turns his gangster into a unique individual with a definite comic cast. As might be expected, the gangster has a female interest (played by Virma Gonzalez) and the usual group of lackeys and associates that add to the fun. Ironically, Tin Tan began his prolific film career in 1942 in Hotel del Verano directed by René Cardona, and ended it nearly thirty years later, in 1972, in Noche de Muerte -- by Cardona! ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The celebrated Mexican comic Tin Tan steps outside of his usual slapstick in his portrayal of an eccentric millionaire in this comedy by director Gilberto Martínez-Solares. A singer with several albums to his credit, Tin Tan drops those talents here as well, making this an unusual effort that pays off in the end because of the credibility he achieves as the rich tycoon. The wealthy man comes across a woman in dire straits and nobly decides to help her out, hopefully giving lie to the title of this typical but effective Mexican comedy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Following the same pattern as the series of Cantinflas films, this routine Mexican comedy stars the country's other top-billed comic, Tin-Tan. He falls a little short of convincing in his take-off on a down-and-out storyteller who struggles to eke out a living on a daily basis. As in other Mexican films of this type the comedy arises from the fixes the storyteller gets into as he goes about his business, some of the situations are as threatening to his well-being as they are funny, yet once again, this time-worn formula runs a little thin here. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
