Fwd: Cold War internationally

From: Victoria Pasley <[email protected]>

What about films set in Latin America during the Cold War showing the
result of US Cold War policies such as Battle of Chile (1976) .. in fact
the Third Cinema Movement is not only a reaction to colonialism but also to
the policies adopted by the US?
There are many more if this is of interest.

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is what you're looking for, but there was a
Mexican film made in 1942 entitled 'Soy Puro Mexicano' by Emilio Fernandez.
The plot summary here comes from Rotten tomatoes:

Filmmaker Emilio Fernandez' second directorial effort was the
thrill-a-minute Soy Puro Mexicano (I'm a Mexican Too) Pedro Armendariz
stars as a fugitive bandit chieftain whose long-dormant patriotism is
aroused when Mexico enters WWII. Hiding from the authorities in a fancy
hacienda, Armendariz discovers that the place is a beehive of Nazi
activities. Aligning himself with gorgeous Allied agent Raquel Rojas,
Armendariz decimates the bad guys, one by one. Errol Flynn had nothing on
this hero! Overlong and somewhat shabbily produced, Soy Puro Mexicano gets
by on its sheer energy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hope it helps.
Best,
A
