    Great fun from 1950s Mexico

    This movie, starring two Mexican superstar singers/actors of the era, Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante, has a title which translates roughly as "Two Guys to Watch Out For" It is a film very much of its time, politically incorrect on many levels; this is overlaid with a thick machista layer, underscoring the tale of male priviledge and the double standard.

    The film.is great fun, a fast-paced farce of misunderstandings, about two friends fallen out over a marital mix-up. The film is a little disjointed at the beginning, with a fairly long prologue. This sets up the conflict to follow. Once the actual story gets under way, it is fun to see the former friends try to trip up each other, and although not seemingly possible, there is a plausible and satisfactory denoument.

    Throughout the film, the two stars and other cast.members break into song quite frequently. These tend to be of the folkloric, "Ranchera" style, which is the genre usually associated with the two singers. The look of the film, additionally, plies in a folkloric vision of rural Mexico. The cinematography is excellent overall, with beautiful vistas of countryside, as well as chiaroscuro lighting in the interior scenes.

    A clash of singing Titans and a delightful movie

    'Dos Tipos de Cuidado' (Two dangerous guys) is a romantic comedy of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. With a predictable script, this movie is a delight to see due to the presence of two of the greatest singer - actors of the Mexican screen: Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante.

    The superb baritone voice of Jorge Negrete (Jorge Bueno) and the magnificent tenor voice of Pedro Infante (Pedro Malo) make this movie one of the jewels of the 'ranchero' gender.

    Within a year Jorge Negrete would die of an hepatic disease in Beverly Hills and Pedro Infante would follow four years latter in the crash of a cargo airplane in Mérida that he was piloting. Probably these untimely deaths account for the popularity of this movie, the only in which these two Mexican (and Latin American) superstars would share scenes, of which the singing duel and the final fiesta scenes are monuments of great acting and superb singing.

    Two Quite Different Guys!

    Ismael Rodriguez Got the achievement of join the biggest males starts of the Mexican Show business, Pedro Infante this time couldn't take advance of having his director-protector(even in some interview Rodriguez declare that Infante used to call him daddy!) because the status of Negrete as the leader of the actors union

    Infante with his natural charm seems that he doesn't care at all the enormous differences between his voice and Negrete's, however the several musical scenes, and Negrete seems to be happy with the great respect that Infante and Rodriguez dispense him, under this agreement the the audience got the biggest benefit so they could see their two idols together in a very entertain movie, besides Rodriguez didn't need to invent anything new ,so he put Infante in a rural environment as the poor of the story (as usual in his movies,specially in some directed by him)and gave to Negrete his habitual role of rich one and a good social position ideal to exalt his natural arrogance, Rodriguez told that he had some discussion with Infante,because he had to ask him reduce his intensity in order to avoid seems overacted in front of Negrete's coldness

    with very good rhythm, as usual ,Rodriguez got one of the best comedies of the fifties and maybe one of the best until today in the Mexican Cimetagrophy

    Great Movie, must watch. Excelente Pelicula, tienes q verla.

    When I was little I hated the mexican movies taking over all the channels in my country. One time there was nothing else to do and I ended up watching a Pedro Infante movie. I dont remember which one but I only remember that it was a lot of fun. Then I started liking only the movies he was in and try to watch them but just then I went back to school , and end up not watching any more, I was probably 13 years old.

    Fast forward 30 years, very recent I came across a video of a the scene of him in a singing battle , and it was just a lot of fun. 4 minutes of Jorge Bueno (Negrete), vs Pedro Malo(Infante). It was an excerpt of I decided to search for the whole movie and it was available in youtube for free. Thank Goodness!. I was presently surprised with such a great movie! It has great seduction , jealousy plots, and the main secret that keeps you intrigued right til the end. This great plot starts like a heavy fireworks drama and then quickly it turns into a comedy. To all the things going on you add the singing talent of these 2 guys.

    It is a 5 star movie. What a talent from the Director. I will watch more of his movies. There is nothing like this nowadays, and there no actor really versatile enogh to act the roles. In any event it is a must watch.

    My first review. Cheers.

    • Trivia
      Both Negrete and Infante refused for a long time to work together. When they finally agreed, Infante was afraid to sing because he believed that his voice could be overwhelmed for the operatic, strong and beautiful voice of Negrete, who was afraid to act besides Infante, probably the best actor in Latin America ever. The result was however, excellent. Ismael Rodriguez and Carlos Orellana developed a mastered screenplay, Rodriguez directed them carefully (and obtained the best performance of Negrete ever).
