Johnny Chicano (1981) updates the tropes of classical Hollywood melodrama to sweaty, working class, early ‘80s Mexico. Poor young land worker Johnny (Fernando Allende) falls in love with the daughter of his wealthy American employer (Verónica Castro), setting into play chaos in his family and community, which ultimately leads to violence.
