Bello amanecer

Pale actors in blackface. Stereotypical scenes of "natives" dancing around a fire (in broad daylight?) A mob chasing a voluptuous actress throughout half of the movie, simply because they wanted to have their way with her, stating and restating that they simply want to take her, then murdering another woman at the house where the first woman took refuge at. Race relations played to the extreme. Fine actors (Braulio Castillo Sr., Delia Esther Quiñones) mixed with an atrocious cast. And this is supposed to be a MUSICAL!

This is not even a Z movie. It is an absolute embarrassment; a poor excuse for Mexican movie moguls to travel to Puerto Rico, portray it as some other place, and do a cash grab. A kindergarten play has better acting than this.

Stay away from this film at all costs.

This story takes place in Costa Rica. The storyteller makes an effort at the start to let us know this, along with the fact that all over the island are beautiful women and great scenery. And don't forget the sunsets!

The plot concerns two fishermen, both unmarried. One of them is very good at heart. He is involved with a beautiful and sophisticated wealthy woman. His parents are eager for him to marry her. Meanwhile, the other fisherman is just a heavy-drinking womanizing troublemaker. In spite of such differing personalities, these two fishermen are good friends.

One day, the two men visit a local store to make a purchase for their boat. A beautiful young woman is now working there, and the two men are both taken with her. She is just a local girl, very innocent and unsophisticated. Yet in spite of her seeming innocence, she spots the difference between these two potential suitors.

Which fisherman will get her? The good one is already spoken for, and the bad one is, well, not a proper candidate either. Watch the movie and find out!
