Now that my appetite is stoked, I'd like to catch up with Dos tipos de cuidado (The Troublesome Two), his only film co-starring Jorge Negrete, and the 1956 Tizoc, his last big movie and the only one he made with Maria Felix. There's also "Los tres huastecos (Three Guys from La Huasteca), in which Pedro plays three roles: a stalwart Army captain, a violin-playing priest and a lumpen atheist.

Helicopters buzzed over the town and armored personnel carriers rumbled up the roads. "They were blocking the people," says Patricino dos Reis, a resident who sympathizes with Reinado.
