"El Rey Del Barrio," starring German Valdes, better known by his nickname, "Tin Tan." Tin Tan screen presence brought the "pachuco" style to the silver screen -- a style that is now mostly seen on white boys during during Halloween trying to portray "the pimp." What people forget to tell you about the pachuco style is how kickin' the girls' hair is, and how gender-subversive their clothing was at the time (1930s/1940s).
And watch this Tin Tan flick just for the cartoonish way the director chooses to to portray "el vagabundo"'s hunger.
