Toros, Amor y Gloria translates to Bulls, Love and Glory -- and it wouldn't be stretching the truth too much to claim that these were the three most popular plot ingredients in the Mexican cinema. Lorenzo Garcia stars as José, a ranchhand on a bull-breeding farm who dreams of becoming a famous matador. Unfortunately, José is a clumsy oaf, whose efforts to take the bull by the horns (as it were) result in hilarious disaster. Even so, our hero emerges triumphant, even unto winning the hand of the beautiful and aristocratic Maria Villareal (Maria Pons). This unabashed slapstick farce runs way too long (116 minutes) for its own good.
