Plot

After Caribbean despot Mariano Vargas is murdered, an idealist takes over and the political struggle turns murky.

Sinekatalog’s take

Luis Buñuel's Mexican-French drama, Los ambiciosos, with Gérard Philipe and María Félix, is political and tense, a minor but fine late film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
