Keeping from Beaumarchais 's play ("le barbier de Séville" )a few proper nouns (Figaro ,Rosine, count Almaviva ,Bartolo) , this film is a free (and I mean free) adaptation called "the adventures of the barber of Sevilla); all the initial comedy took place in the same place ,Bartolo's house, the eventful screenplay is (roughly) divided into two parts and takes the viewer to Puerto Rico : the epic adventures of Figaro and a gang of thieves ,then the love rivalries between Figaro and the count :gone are Figaro 's reproaches against the privileges of the aristocracy (even more present in the follow-up play "le mariage de Figaro" where the hero boldly tells the noble : " What have you done to earn so many advantages? You took the trouble to be born, nothing more. ", which predated the fall of the Ancien Régime"in 1789 )

It's essentially a vehicle for bel canto singer Luis Mariano ,then the female audience's idol ;and sing ,he does , all along the movie ,on Francis Lopez 's music ,operetta past master (and not Rossini's opera). The first part is eventful ,and if you do not ask too much,rather entertaining :the best moment happens in the English fortress : Figaro and his thieves-turned - corsairs think that they are going to be hanged ;but the enemy uses the gallows for another unexpected thing .
