Todo un caballero

Todo un Cabellero translates loosely as Every Inch a Gentleman, an ironic title indeed given the morbid goings-on. The story takes place in court, where a handsome but aimless young man is on trial for murder. The boy's defense attorney, a once-dapper fashion plate fallen on hard times, rises to the occasion, eventually proving that the murder wasn't a murder after all. Fernand Soler dominates the proceedings as the wily lawyer, while Gustavo Rojo does a nice job in the less-demanding role of the defendant. Todo un Cabellero represented the first big-budget effort for director Miguel M. Delgado.
