El Pandillero  (1961)

Theatrical Release Information:
El Pandillero

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
