Los tramposos
("The cheaters") is a 1959 Spanish comedy film directed by Pedro
Lazaga and starring Tony Leblanc and Antonio Ozores.
The movie is about two small-time con-men, who make a living
of swindling people. They have a relatively happy life despite some
"visits" to Carabanchel Prison. However, one of them, Virgilio, falls
in love with the sister of his partner. Since she is not happy about their
style of living, they decide to become honest people. Having failed in other
jobs, open their own travel agency, which turns out to be a success after some
comical incidents.
Spanish critic Carlos Aguilar in his Guía del cine español
considers this film "in his own way, a classic".
