Movie review - Spitfire#2 - "Mexican Spitfire" (1940) **

 Sequel to The Girl from Mexico with Donald Woods and Lupe Velez back from their honeymoon. An aunt and his ex tries to break them up. Woods isn't in this much instead Leon Errol is back as his uncle... and this time plays a double role as a duffer English lord.

The film has three Aussies in it - Errol, Cecil Kellaway (in a small part he's only at the end) and Charles Coleman (who plays a butler). There's a lot of Errl and if you find him funny and I think people did you'll like it. He leaves me a little cold.

There's a food fight at the end and Velez burts into Spanish every now and then - it gives the piece energy.
