    Small but good jewel

    Another jewel from the crown of director Juan Bustillo Oro. This story happens in United States but everybody speak Spanish. Even so, they keep repeating that Mister ''X'', the accused man, has a strong Spanish accent when he speaks English. Everybody has American names and the accused has served in both the Iraq and the Korea wars. Manolo Fabregas is Mister "X", he has pretended to have amnesia after being captured for killing a gangster. The newspaper headline reads: ''Unknown Mexican is responsible of hideous crime''. And they assumed he is Mexican because they found a VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE picture in his wallet. After that article many people who know him, go to make a statement to set him free. The trial, rivals those seen in other movies like NUREMBERG, FOUNTAINHEAD, etc.
