The song and dance (dance in particular) are unsurprisingly (too) heavily featured

This criticism does not compute

Maybe it's just me but it's really unbalanced and the dance scenes are overly long for what they are, seemingly just to accommodate Ninon Sevilla's other fame. One of Rita Montaner's songs is particularly gratuitous as well, not plot related in the slightest.

Mind you, Santiago having a mariachi band follow him around just to accompany him as he picks up prostitutes is certainly an idea we can all relate to.

Bummed the title I'm most interested in picking up there isn't in 4K

Can't imagine 4K really doing that much for a film as rough looking (complimentary) as BGWD

I saw a print of BGWD like 15+ years ago, and honestly a VHS transfer would be an improvement over what I saw then.

Risky Business 4k my dreams have come true!
