    Set in the early 1900's, Bunuel's surprisingly mainstream and riveting romantic melodrama is the powerful tale of two escaped convicts, Gerardo (Jorge Negrete) and Demetrio (Julio Villarreal), who convince an Argentinian oil magnate to let them work on his rig. When he suddenly disappears, his sister (Libertad Lamarque) immediately suspects the two workers of foul play, but her attraction to Gerardo soon leads her to secretly team up with him to conduct their own murder investigation. Intricate and riveting, Bunuel's powerful melodrama combines murder, suspense and romance. Bunuel's riveting Mexican melodrama about an escaped convict's shocking relationship with his murdered boss's sister.

    Gran Casino (1947) is a musical vehicle for the popular singing stars Jorge Negrete and Libertad Lamarque. The suave Gerardo Ramírez (Negrete) breaks jail in the lawless Tampico district, and with his best buddy Demetrio (Julio Villarreal) comes to the aid of Jos&eacut;e (Francisco Jambrina), an Argentinian who can't work his Nacional oil wells due to strong-arm tactics of the local casino owner, Fabio (José Baviera). José disappears just before his sister Mercedes (Libertad Lamarque) arrives. She suspects Gerardo, and takes a job singing in Fabio's club to find out if her brother was murdered.

    On the surface Gran Casino seems entirely innocuous, a tepid murder mystery framing three performances each from Negrete and Lamarque. Negrete sings one song in jail, another to remind his boss of the Pampas back in Argentina, and a third (La Norteña) to show that he's a man of the people. Larmarque sings tango ballads, including El Choclo, which has some fancy fast lyrics. The story is predictable stuff, with lovable sidekick characters and a general air of unconcern as crooked gangsters kill good oilmen left and right.

    Reviewers usually notice only one Buñuel moment: when Gerardo kills a bad guy behind a curtain by smashing his head, we see a subliminal glimpse of shattering glass. Although most of his touches are uncharacteristically subtle, one can find plenty of Buñuel in Gran Casino. The major industry in Tampico is owned and manipulated by a capitalist criminal, in this case a European named Van Eckerman. The police never appear, while Tampico is controlled by private goons in the employ of the nefarious Fabio. Buñuel chooses the earthy comedian Alfonso Bedoya (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre) to play Rayado, the murderous leader of these thugs. The disposal of assassinated business competitors is such a routine that Fabio keeps a pair of workmen on call to dispose of the bodies!

    Buñuel makes fun of the musical format by having Gerardo's three mustachioed backup singers appear from nowhere (even in jail) whenever he needs a harmonious accompaniment. Buñuel undercuts the notion of popular taste by having the casino patrons drive both an opera singer and some Scottish bagpipe dancers (???) from the stage with derisive hoots. He also sabotages Mercedes's big stage number by having the singer and her chorus line hold silly flashlights, just because there's a reference to 'the light of love' in the song. These touches are undoubtedly Buñuel's doing, as is the comic character Nanette (Fernanda Albany), an elderly casino patron pictured as an unrepentant kleptomaniac with a 'psychological' excuse.

    The film will appeal most to fans of Latin American musicals and the legendary Libertad Lamarque, then 39. The story requires her to be cross most of the time, robbing her of her beautiful smile. Jorge Negrete struts like a peacock and puts his tunes across, but he's a terrible actor. Buñuel mocks the romance subplot by having Gerardo and Mercedes' big love scene take place next to a noxious oil well – "Do I smell kerosene?" she asks. While thinking romantic thoughts, Gerardo plays with a stick, pulling a vile-looking rag from a puddle of Tampico crude.
