Review:

    There isnt much Robert in this film ...it doesnt matter you must see it.I would suggest getting some background information before you watch it.I found a book called Chicano-Hispanic images in American films a great help,I also read THE ZOOT SUIT MURDERS by THOMAS SANCHEZ and later Luis Valdez's script of the play...pity NO STINKING BADGES is not yet a film.

Name: From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Review:
    Fascinating, powerful, if too theatrical ``stylized musical'' based on railroading of Chicano gang members to San Quentin for murder in 1942 and efforts to obtain their release; adding commentary is the gang's leader (Valdez) and his zoot-suited alter ego (Olmos). Filmed on stage, with shots of an audience that is presumably watching the performance
