Check out La vuelta del Charro Negro (The Return of the Black Rider, 1941, Azteca Studios). It can best be descibed as a horror-western-comedy-musical and completely enjoyable. The Black Rider is a western hero akin to the Cisco Kid, who typifies the charro, or dandy cowboy. The villain is a mad scientist who has no problem killing his allies, let alone those who get in his way. He has an underground laboratory complete with the upright coffins and mummified cadavers requisite in so many Mexican horrors. The movie has grave-robbing, murder, mad science, live burial, subterranean crypt, female heroine, and some great mariachi tunes. I know of no copies that are subtitled in English, but it is fairly easy to follow. Amazon has it on DVD. GARY L. PRANGE "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectos nunc." Check out my YouTube Video of the Week!

I've enjoyed SHIP OF MONSTERS and AVENTURA AL CENTRO DE LA TIERRA without subtitles--this sounds like it might actually rival the former. My favorite line from the Amazon description: "...frees a damsel who had been kidnapped and after a spectacular persecution scene..." I love spectacular persecution scenes. Always have.
