Full Spead Ahead

Full Speed Ahead (known in Spanish as ¡A toda máquina!) was written and directed by Ismael Rodríguez, starring Pedro Infante and Luis Aguilar, about a drifter who joins Mexico City's elite motorcycle traffic police unit and falls for the same woman as his commander. Pedro Infante is considered the most beloved star of Mexican cinema's Golden Age, appearing in over 60 films and recording more than 300 songs before his death in a 1957 plane crash, an event that plunged the country into mourning and cemented his status as a legend. Who it's for: anyone curious about a performance from Mexican cinema's Golden Age's most beloved star, in a motorcycle police comedy. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a modern, serious police procedural, since this is a light musical comedy.
