La Cucaracha (1934)

Bad Movie, Interesting Curio
24 April 2014
Señor Martinez, a famous theater owner, visits a local café in Mexico because of its reputation for good food and to audition the famous dancer who performs there.

Martinez tells the café owner that if the dancer is as good as he has heard, he will offer the dancer a contract to perform in his theater.

The café's female singer hears about this and is determined that he won't leave the café without her.

First full color live action film. Odd that they'd choose this topic.

Also odd that it came from Pioneer Pictures and not a big studio.

It's an interesting curio and not much more.

In fact, as a short, it feels like a feature and it's horribly directed.

The use of color is just OK but the entire production was out of focus.

Not sure if that's just the copy or if it was like that originally.
