EL SANTO VS. EL ESTRANGLADOR (THE
STRANGLER)-1965-The famous luchador El Santo (himself) is called in
when a scarred strangler kills show girls at a club. Sub-plots
include a young singing couple investigating the murders, a show girl
who wants her lover to kill a rival and Santo adopting a son. After
the iconic Mexican grappler foils one of the strangler's crimes, he
sends a hit man to do in the wrestler but that fails. Later the show
girl's lover wrestles Santo but he's accidentally shot and killed by
the strangler (he was trying to kill Santo). Eventually it's revealed
the strangler is masquerading as a woman. He's shot by the police
while trying to escape.
Beware! There are a lot of musical numbers
and our hero only shows up 20 minutes into the film! Thank you
director Rene' Cardona!
Muchos gracias for reading!
