It all happened because of Elvis Presley. Elvis, down south of the border to film a movie, has insisted his producers hire a proper Spaniard so that he can pronounce his few lines in Spanish with a Castillian accent. But Ruib?rriz has taken on much more than he bargained for. One fatal night, horseplay in a local bar goes too far: a fatuous drunken American insults the local kingpin, and when the thug insists that Ruib?rriz translate, Elvis himself adds an even more stinging commentand who must translate that?Sexy, contemplative, elusive, and addictive.A gem of a Mar?as story: Elvis and his entourage abandon their translator in a seedy cantina full of enraged criminals.
