synopsis
The Argentinian Alias Big Shot stars Walter Vidarie as a would-be singer. When the big breaks aren't forthcoming, Vidarie turns to petty thievery. Eventually, all of his hopes and aspirations fall by the wayside as he sinks deeper into the morass of crime. It's not a pretty story, nor is it prettily photographed. But if you're in the mood for strong meat and a shot without a chaser, Alias Big Shot will fill the bill.
