    Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau frolic round early 1900's Central America, leading a revolution, blowing things up, and inventing the striptease along the way. Sounds good? Sadly, that's not really the case. Bardot, Moreau and Malle have all done better things.

    It isn't a realistic movie at all, it's all about fantasy and revolution. The 60's French sense of humor is shown on this film and the sexiness that we aren't used to see on western films can be enjoyed here with the beauty of Bardot and Moreau. I like it for de songs, the black ...( read more)humor and the personality of the girls.
    La historia se desarrolla en México y claro que tienen una visión estereotipada de nosotros pero me pareció mucho mejor que la de los westerns gringos, y también hay cosas de la cultura mexicana que se nota que no tienen ni la menor idea, pero bueno, no podía ser perfecta la película.
