THE KISSING BANDIT

Details

• Release Year: 1948
• Genre: Comedy, Music, Western
• Plot: Sinatra, Serapes, Silliness and Songs!; ; Place all the gold under lock and key. All the beautiful senoritas, too. The Kissing Bandit rides again - if he can somehow manage to stay on horseback!; ; Frank Sinatra plays the kissing (and singing!) title role. Kathryn Grayson is lovely, coloratura-voiced Teresa - and who'd guess she would steal his heart before he could steal his first kiss? Sinatra brings infectious charm to the role of timid Ricardo, haplessly continuing his father's bandito tradition. Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse and Ricardo Montalban sway, swirl and clackety-clack through the vibrant, flamenco-style 'Dance of Fury' number choreographed by Stanley Donen. And scene after scene unfurls with a splashy medley of Technicolor lavenders, reds, yellows and greens. Watch out, this bandit might steal your heart!
