Cuatro contra el crimen (English: "Four Against the Crime") is a 1968 Mexican action crime film directed by Sergio Véjar and starring Libertad Leblanc, Pedro Armendáriz Jr., Guillermo Murray, and Blanca Sánchez.[1] [2] Gabriel García Márquez contributed to the script.[3]
After the death of two heads of a criminal organization, four secret agents are commissioned to protect a third boss.
In Breve historia del cine mexicano: primer siglo, 1897–1997, Emilio García Riera cited the film as an example, alongside S.O.S. Conspiración Bikini (1967) and El asesino se embarca (1967), of Mexican films made in the 1960s to cash in on the success of the James Bond films, referring to them as examples of "underdeveloped James Bond-ism."[4]
