"My Man and I" is a film which features a lovely performance by Ricardo Montalban as a Mexican-American named Chu Chu who has recently become a US citizen. He believes in the American Dream...and believes hard work and honesty will ultimately pay off. Unfortunately, he meets several people who test this to the limits...including a drunk lady (Shelley Winters) as well as a bully who cheats him out of a months' wages. What's next for the poor guy? See the film and find out for yourself.
I really appreciated Montalban's acting here and liked the character. My only complaint about him is that perhaps his character is too nice...too perfect. Still, it's a dandy film that explores the darker side of American life for some...even if the ending seems a bit hard to belive!
