...coup which sent Castillo back into obscurity had, in proud Argentina, all the earmarks of a revolt in a banana republic. Early one morning 7,000 troops moved out of the Campo de Mayo barracks to the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Led by General Arturo Rawson and General Pedro Ramirez, who had been Minister of War in Castillo's Cabinet, the troops fired a few shots at the city's outskirts, turned down the Calle Blandengues until they reached the Palermo race track. There newsboys were already hawking editions of Noticias Graficas, which headlined: "REVOLUTION SUCCESSFUL." Fanning...
Except for Spencer Tracy, who, in the central role of Pilon, is nothing but Tracy wearing paisano rags, the cast is excellent.

But he was President of Mexico. Said Manuel Avila Camacho: "I desire that strict justice be observed...
That afternoon a squad of police took Brother Gabriel in charge, locked him up in the Federal penitentiary. To Francisco Moreno Sanchez, chief of the Investigation Division of the District Attorney's office, he told his story again. Young Cacho Ramirez, he thought, had mistaken him for another man with whom the jeweler's son had quarreled earlier in the night. The gun had gone off accidentally. Witnesses at the tavern said they saw nothing...
