Dos Tipos de Ciudado

Watched the whole thing on Turner Classic Movies this evening. It was made in the early 50's, I believe. It seemed liked a Hispanic Hope/Crosby road movie written by Moliere, almost as interesting for the core plot elements it didn't talk about as it was for those it dealt with openly.

"Honor" was one of plot engines that drove the story. Found one of the verities embeded in the dialogue:

“You two are together because of a betrayal. It will end badly.” Jorge Negrete in Dos Tipos de Ciudado

Betrayal is not a verity. Faithfulness is. Honor is.

Do you really search for the verities?

This was a perceptive observation/question. It has stayed with me and helped me refocus when I began to drift off my search, but I never thanked you for the course correcting comment. I should have done so before this time. Thank you.
