MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

donahue-1 Classic B Western. However - I thought that I'd respond to two earlier conflicting reviews concerning The Three Godfathers. One reviewer was correct in that this theme is very much similar to The Three Godfathers - 1936 - starring Chester Morris. If you want to see an excellent western - please check out Chester Morris in the 1936 (original). In my opinion it is "harder and gritter" and better than the 1948 John Ford remake with John Wayne. Also - it boasts - two of the best supporting actors in the business - Lewis Stone and Walter Brennen. Having said all of this - The Cisco Kid and The Lady is still an excellent "oater" and fun to watch. Enjoy.

tejanaZ an earlier comment describes this film as just a reworking of "3 Godfathers" (John Ford, 1948) ... an interesting idea but not logical since this film was produced and released in 1939! Many may like "3 Godfathers" more ... after all that's a real film with a plot and stars and all the trappings of dramatic storytelling. They obviously have similar plot devices but they don't really compare because "Cisco Kid and the Lady" is just a lighthearted B-movie romp made for Saturday afternoon matinees. Still, it did come first, by almost a decade. This is not very deep drama but "Cisco ..." can be a lot of fun.Romero makes a very charming, dapper and debonair Cisco. He flashes a gorgeous smile, a sexy singing voice, a sexier accent and lithe dance style. To quote Warren Zevon "... his hair was perfect." An interesting casting note: the wholesome school teacher is dark haired and the fiery saloon girl is a blonde... not the usual stereotypes.

MartinHafer The film begins with Cisco and Gordito (his sidekick) talking about the fact that practically every crime that occurs is blamed on the Kid and they are seen collecting yet another wanted poster for their collection. Incidentally, NONE of the posters look anything like him and obviously other bandits are running around calling themselves the Cisco Kid. What nerve! Soon, the plot begins to resemble a reworking of the classic THREE GODFATHERS, as the two stumble upon a dying man with a baby. Robert Barrat also arrives and unfortunately, it's all too obvious all too quickly that Barrat is a bad guy. Well, anyway, the dying man asks the three of them to care for the baby and be sure the little tyke gets the gold mine that is rightfully his. Then, he tears the map in three pieces and gives it to the three so they need to work together for the good of the baby. The three agree and the man dies. Only minutes later, through rotten parenting, the child is nearly killed by a stagecoach--and this REALLY looked like a dangerous stunt with a real baby! How they got away with this one, I'll never know.The rest of the film consists of the Kid chasing women, dancing and making love--all the while also trying to keep Barrat from killing him and Gordito. In the end, since it is a B-Western, everything is wrapped up very neatly and the Kid rides away to further adventures.Cesar Romero returns for the second time as The Cisco Kid and it is purely because of Romero's easy-going performance that it rises (slightly) above the ordinary. Otherwise, this film is essentially a B-movie Western with no surprises--like a Gene Autry film and the like. Not a whole lot of depth to the plot or characters, but still fun to watch as a simple time-passer.

allanrad Tall,dark, handsome and charming, Cesar Romero's Cisco Kid dazzles the senoritas and baffles the bad guys. With Cisco and Gordito looking out for an orphaned infant, it could have been called "Two Bandits and a Baby." There is action but minimal violence as Cisco outwits rather outfights his adversaries. Veteran Robert Barrat is on entertaining form as the boss bad man and an amusing supporting role goes to George Montgomery, star of some good Westerns in the 1950s.
