- DirectorChano UruetaStarsMiguel Aceves MejíaVictorio BlancoLupe CarrilesThis post-World War II drama, (released to a world-wide audience on July 9, 1949), is definitively unique for the caliber of each of its contributing writers, who are clearly better-known for their cinematic talents in black and white . For instance, the film's Director Chano Urueta ( who became an acclaimed actor in his own right), actually co-wrote the script along with one of its principal actresses, namely Esther Fernandez, as well as adding in the literary abilities of a well-known movie-producer of the era named Luis Marique. As such, its is somewhat ironic the final co- writer who contributed to this joint-effort was actually its only full-time, professional writer, (and best-selling Novelist at the time), author Jose Maria Carretero. In fact, by all accounts, the original idea for this movie was loosely based on his book, entitled "El Caballero Audaz" . It is also interesting to note that in this particular film, it was decided that actor Jose Pulido's singing voice was to be uncharacteristically "dubbed-over" and replaced by that of falsetto crooner Miguel Aceves Mejia, who is credited as "the voice" but does not otherwise visually appear on film at an.y time during this 1 hour and 25 minute movie.
- DirectorAlejandro GalindoStarsVíctor ParraLeticia PalmaTito JuncoThis acclaimed crime-drama by Director Alejandro Galindo, (and co-directed by actor Jose Pulido, also one of this film's stars), is considered the prototypical example of "Cine Negra Mexicano, otherwise known as Mexican Film Noir, with a unique shadowy, black and white focus on its usual subjects-namely gangsters, cops, and good-girls-gone-bad. It tells the story of four gangsters who successfully ambush and rob a money transport vehicle, but not without killing its occupants in the process. After eluding the police, the quartet must hide out in the attic of a home belonging to one of their co-conspirator's mistresses. Their escape plans, nerves and fellowship all start to fracture, as the four must lie low in hot, cramped and dank conditions. Restored versions of Cuatro Contra el Mundo were featured at both the 65th Berlin International Film Festival in 2015, and the 12th annual FICM Mexican Cine Negra series, in collaboration with the Film Library of UNAM, Televisa Foundation, and the Nationale Cinematheque.
