About Diablillos de arrabal
In a poor neighborhood in Mexico City, two gangs of kids fight for control of the center where they work as "boleros", musicians or announcers. "Completo" joins the gang led by "Rorro", a rival of the group headed by "Curricán".
Directed by Adela Sequeyro, Diablillos de arrabal leans on a strong ensemble — José Emilio Pineda, Enrique Olivar, Alberto Islas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1940.
