He has recently been awarded a medal by his grateful government, and his cup is filled to overflowing.

The saga begins with a devastating crisis: in 1970, four men brutally extinguish the lives of an entire family and seize its land. Now, 18 years later, ominous events begin to transpire: one of the men receives a letter predicting the exact day of his death, and is promptly killed with a car bomb; one by one, similar letters begin to crop up at the home of each of the remaining culprits, and the men band together to pinpoint the murderer. Yet only one suspect exists - the new ranch hand, Antonio, and he passionately insists on his own innocence, searching in desperation for evidence to prove his case. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

If your idea of a "bus picture" is It Happened One Night, the Spanish Bus Station will prove quite an eye-opener. There's the usual cross-section of passengers, all strangers at first, friends afterward. And there are quite a few amazing adventures en route, some of them hair-raising. The main drawing card of the story is sex--sex performed on and off the road by the temporary denizens of the bus station and bus. No "walls of Jericho" in this one. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This is a low-budget, low-brow comedy about people who have the misfortune of working in a hospital, though not as much misfortune as the patients. The doctors are universally incompetent, none of the nurses have been able to find a uniform that was not a tad too small, gangsters wander in and out of the premises, and misfits make up the corps of ambulance drivers, and sometimes, patients as well. The storyline is put together as a series of skits that revolve around a threat of foreclosure to the premises. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

"Lalo el Mimo" or Eduardo de la Peña stars in this unusual comedy as a lottery ticket winner. Instead of investing in stocks or huge houses, Rafael Lara (the character el Mimo plays) has set up four of his friends in auto repair businesses.

Eventually the authorities get wind of these illegal goings on (one wife per customer, please) and put him in jail. However, he has fulfilled the secret dreams of many of those who put him in jail, and he is much admired by them. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
