I discovered Roberto Gavaldon in a dedicated special series on television not long ago. This film is a stunning beauty. In every respect. The music can become haunting while a bit conventional and silky at first encounter. And a musical saw is heard. Super rico !
Mains criminelles and Dias de Otoño are my other favorites.

Excellent film in every way. Production, cast, script and acting. Dolores del Rio had it all and in spades. Impossible to take ones eyes off her. The most beautiful and elegant of all those Hollywood women from that era.

9,9/10 !

OMG! One of the very best noir existing, easily amongst the best 20 ever made.

Astonishing storry, brillant execution, acting, photography, settings … everyting’s perfect! And the story is totally gripping, no letdown anywhere, couldn’t take any pause, that’s how gripping it is.

And I never heard of it before!

The masterful director also made MACARIO, another masterpiece (which is even a bit better/more gripping, though that might be hard to believe)!

MEXICO RULES, that country had an awesome movie “industry” back in those days.

Will now go pn watching his other effort on this site and hope to find more of his works. He directed over 50 movies!!

If you like glossy women’s melodramas from the 40’s and have seen all the major Hollywood ones, this one may hit the spot. Plot is melodramatic but quite compelling. Del Rio has one guilty conscience scene that’s entertainingly over the top telenovela style. Otherwise she commands the screen with effortless elegance. And the whole production has a high gloss sheen. Would have made a great late 40’s Warner Brothers vehicle for Joan Crawford. As a matter of fact, Del Rio’s look in some scenes is styled very much like Crawford’s in “Humoresque”, but “La Otra” came first. It was Bette Davis who remade it in the 60’s (as “Dead Ringer”) but by that time she was a little old to go the drop-dead glamour route so the thing was substantially rewritten.
