«It's been a long time since I
danced just for the fun of it,» sighs a wayward stripper in Emilio Aragón's A
Night In Old Mexico, her wistful words
perfectly articulating the sentiment that drives this ambling Robert Duvall star vehicle.
Here his blankness is
perfectly suited to Chili's unflappable cool — and in one of the most welcomely gratuitous
dance sequences in cinematic history, he reprises both his defining rôle from «Saturday
Night Fever», and his seminal floor moves with Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction.
