Review of Machete

Machete (1958)
6/10
Seen It All Before, But This Is Good Too
31 March 2024
Thirty years ago, Albert Dekker came to Puerto with just a machete. Now he owns an immense and profitable sugar plantation. He returns from a trip to New York with beautiful Mari Blanchard as his wife. Will her attraction for and to anything in pants destroy everything and everyone?

Miss Blanchard is certainly a cutie-pie, and there is some good acting talent here, including Lee Van Cleef and Juano Hernandez. However, it's an old story, with hints of THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED. Still, the location shooting in Puerto Rico helps, and there's a dynamite fire sequence to end this competently produced tale of Good Men and Bad Women.
