Enjoyable musical comedy with amenity , fine humor , subtle irony , traditional sense of style and nice Mexican setting . It was common in post-war cinema to deal with the most luxurious means of advertising in favor of singers , bullfighters , athletes , priests and and using , as usual , the Catholicism and holy church through some friendly nuns . The amusing and funny storyline written by Vicente Escrivá and José María Sánchez Silva , being loosely based on the Antonio Palacio Valdes novel : ¨La Hermana de San Sulpicio¨; however the adaptation is not faithful to the details . This one results to be an attempt to popularize Helda Aguirre as Maria Sor Ye-yé , a lively , fun girl who makes a surprising decision : to become a singer nun . Nevertheless , Hilda Aguirre did not sing her songs but was dubbed . She's well accompanied by the gallant Manuel Gil as good looking partenaire , as well as the famous Mexican idol Enrique Guzmán playing a singer who eventually participates in San Remo Festival singing along with Hilda Aguirre/Sor Ye Ye in order to obtain money to heal a blind boy.
