Movie Review: Zoot Suiter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, the music is just great. And the fact that my first husband was there may have some thing to do with it. Besides that I still love the movie and the music. If you haven't seen it yet I'd say your missing a very good movie.And the price was just out of this world, you can't beat [..]every where that I have looked the price is over [..]. So thank you.
Thank You

Summary of Zoot Suit
A chicago gang leader and his alter ego recall the case of gang members railroaded to prison in 1942. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2004 Starring: Daniel Valdez Charles Aidman Run time: 103 minutes Rating: R Director: Luis ValdesThis is a filmed play, rather than a stage piece reimagined for the movies, which is probably why the general audience never cozied up to this intense picture. But Zoot Suit has a couple of significant attractions. First, it's a landmark Latino work from the pre-indie period, directed by Luis Valdez, an important figure in Chicano theater. Valdez based his acclaimed play on the zoot-suit riots of 1940s Los Angeles, when a group of young Chicano men were railroaded into jail on a murder charge. The director later found a mainstream audience with his juicy rock & roll bio La Bamba, and perhaps a bigger budget might have garnered Zoot Suit the same kind of acceptance. Daniel Valdez, the director's brother, plays the hero and also composed the flavorful songs; but the big draw here is the sensational performance of Edward James Olmos. A brooding actor just beginning his screen career, Olmos plays a flamboyant, hectoring, all-seeing figure called El Pachuco--a Greek chorus with attitude to burn. The wild contours of the zoot suit fit Olmos as snugly as his white shirt and black tie from Miami Vice. --Robert Horton
