Ventarrón (1949)
Strong Wind
A hood named 'Ventarron' ("Strong wind or gale") escapes from the joint. He goes back to get revenge. This is a solid Mexican noir directed by Chano Urueta and it has hoods and dames alike.
It has a lot of men dressed up in fedora hats, overcoats, and "pachuco clothing". To be "Pachuco" is to be associated with club nightlife, splashy behavior in public, zoot suits, and street gangs. There's a pool hall scene and a nice scene towards the end in night with hoods at a bus station.
In Spanish with no English subtitles.
