A tender and cruel film. Paradoxical? No when a real story is told. And the story occurs in Spain during the civil war. For this short summer of anarchy, in the most beautiful of the popular feats of the century, the director conducts an affectionate and anarchical look. He make us to remember that in revolutionary periods, revolutionaries are needed. But does not permit that we forget the monumental inefficiency of anarchism.
The sewing between fiction and reality in the story of Juanita Romero relieved a magnificent parade of tangos and a true romantic comedy. The irony of the film, especially of the final sequence with Gardel imitating Gardel, has a strong Borges flavor with the destiny of one being carried through in the other.
Nat Moyer ( Walter Matthau ) may be several persons for the others: consumer protector, working class counselor, FBI agent, movie industry mogul, ... But Nat was in his entire life, essentially, the man who never forgot Clara Lemlich calling a general strike at the textile workers Union meeting. Matthau'interpretation was worth an Oscar. The movie has the marks of the original play. A gentle satire about the dreams and the death of communism.
