L'affaire de Buenos Aires

Jorge Salcedo earns 250 pesos a month, which is not enough for a man who wants te good things in life, and wants them now. His girl friend has just finished her law exams, and explains to him that the maximum imprisonment for embezzlement is six years. So he steals half a million pesos, and prepares ot sit out the six years. But his brother is fired and his mother has bills; and authorities want to recover the missing money; so too do criminals in prison with him.

It's like a feature-length CRIME DOES NOT PAY episode in Spanish. With Hugo Fregonese directing, this Argentine film is not more graphic, but it is more violent than an American feature film would be.... although the standards were about to shift in Hollywood, possibly impelled by movies like this one.
