Five of my seven stars are for "all that Jazz"....the sixth star is for the underlying story of how music crosspolinates ...the 7th star goes to Arturo de Cordoba, One of the most active Mexican actors during their Epoca de Oro cinematic age (1945-1956). His participatiin in this film accentuates the commitment by the film makers to create this most wonderful window into the worst and best of our National culture...during an era of great prejudice and Nativist activity.
I cannot say enough good things about this extraordinary Mexican tale that reverberates with Mambo, with Romberas, rehearsed dance numbers and musical styles typifying Pachuco, Hillbilly, mambo, rumbas and Mexican rancheras! Miss Pons, plays a rich Mestiza girl that gets hood- winked by a gangster and is transported to Juarez, Mx. Suddenly, Mexican actress Sara Garcia enters the fray as a out of control drunk who befriends Pons and sees her as a daughter she never had......Sara's performance as a whizzed alcoholic who forgets everything while drunk is unforgettable.Typical gangster types, a gigantic number orchestrated by Perez Prado danced to the tune "El Ruletero", this Mexican vehicle for Argentine Pons is entertaining, one of the best 'rumbera' films of the Golden Age of Mexican films.....
