Zoot Suit
I saw this on the Independent Film many years ago, very good film, revolves around Gangs but gangs in the 1940's.Also a film about Latinos (my people) and the problems they face in the inner city.It's much better than those terrible soap opera's in Mexico, this film is a musical but it's also a drama focusing on different Hispanic characters.Edward James Olmos career is synomonus with these type of filmsmost notable "American Me", "Stand and Deliver", "My family"a great actor who is part of the real population.Despite the great performances the film does suffer fromits story, you know several hot headed characters with theirattitude and lifestyles are only headed downhill and theirfates are predetermined.Still "Zoot Suit" is a good film.
