also adds succinct pictorial
comment on the audiences in
Mexico's rings, cheering wildly
a display Of courage bordering
on the foolhardy. booing a
clumsy pass and shouting
epithets at any display of
temerity.
"Torero!" may indeed be the
best film on bullfighting ever
made. If it falls short Of this
it is because it fails in one
respect. 1t does not explain,
except possibly to those who
know already. why grown men
are so fascinated with stick
ing tormenting barbs into bulls

ment of truth" in the aft

1t may be that this doesn't
matter, since "Torero!" is not
likely to appeal to those who

action in the ring for the bull
flght fans, but. If you are pro-
