Steve D 03/05/2024 Not a lot here for the actors but entertaining enough. See more 12/14/2015 J. Lo and Antonio Banderas had great chemistry in this movie as time-traveling actors who movie-bomb some stodgy studio-era dram-com. See more 12/03/2015 Basically the same as (the original) Scarface, but starring Paul Muni as a Mexican instead of an Italian. I guess it was probably progressive or anti-racist for its time. Certainly the rich, respectable, bourgeois, WASP characters are the most despicable. But it's all over the place, it's not coherent enough, not least in its sympathy (or condescension?) for rather crudely-portrayed Mexicans.

See more 01/24/2013 Very irritating drama in which Paul Muni graduates from an alleged school and become a-way-in-over-his-head lawyer, only to impress his mother. He fails to do so miserably (like this film in terms of convincing the viewer for it to be believable) and looks for other work, of which a criminal (Eugene Pallette) hires him to be his secretary, where he gets involved with him, and his wife (Bette Davis). Performances by other cast members are overshadowed by Muni's hammy, inconsistent (especially in terms of Mexican accent, which sounds Italian and American at times) contribution to this deservedly forgotten movie. Annoying, pretty predictable, and once again, Muni ruins the whole the movie. One of Davis' worst as well. See more Read all reviews
