3/5 Los Tigres del Desierto/The Desert Tigers(1960)
  by Jorge A. Zarco (Fresno, CA USA)
Los Tigres del Desierto(1960) is a decent comedy starring Viruta and Capulina. Aside from a few sidesplitting scenes, the rest of the movie is forgettable! Do keep in mind this film has some politically-incorrect humor and "Middle Eastern languages" that are actually gibberish! LTDD takes place in a generic Eurasian country. Viruta(Marco Antonio Campos) and Capulina(Gaspar Henaine) have to rescue a baby prince after he's kidnapped by a gang of criminals. The video quality on this Laguna Films DVD is fine, but the soundtrack is hurt by this "echo" that plays during all 90 minutes of the film!
In the plus column, sexpot Lorena Velazquez does a good job playing the film's heroine. What pulchritude(physical beauty)Velazquez had in those days! Even in a lesser movie like this, Viruta and Capulina can still make us laugh with their broad sense of humor. Viruta and Capulina were like the Martin and Lewis or the Laurel and Hardy of their time.
