A sablazo limpio (A Quick Saber Slash) is a 1958 Mexican historical-comedy film written and directed by Fernando Cortés and starring Viruta y Capulina, Lucho Gatica and Carmela Rey. Set during the era of the Spanish viceroyalties, the film follows the adventures of two clumsy blacksmiths who become the servants of a masked-hero in disguise who is willing to uncover the uncontrolled spending and injustices of a governor and his military captain.
The film is notable for its lavish sets and costumes, designed by award-winning production designer Jorge Fernández, which accurately correspond to the historical era of the Spanish viceroyalties.
A sablazo limpio premiered on November 20, 1958, in the Mariscala and Olimpia movie theaters for two weeks.
