The Gay Cavalier (1946)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by William Nigh
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Gilbert Roland's Cisco Kid is more interested in how he looks smoking a cigarette and seducing women than anything else. His narcissism grows tiring after awhile leading to viewer disinterest. His sidekick here is not Pancho but "Baby", who strums a guitar and sings while Cisco seduces his latest conquest. There is some question if this is really the Cisco Kid, since all references to his name in dialogue have been dubbed in by poor voice actors. The effect is disorienting and further takes one out of the film.
