No one can gainsay that Miss Del Rio has become a great actress, with all the old posing and artificiality gone, giving place to a genuine power that is at times almost startling.

Due to several such combined factors as general excellence of portraiture, eloquent settings, skilled direction and moving story, the fine performance of Dolores Del Rio is a major attraction

I am immediately moved by his folkloric melodrama about love, prejudice and injustice in the indigenous town of Xochimilco. [Full review in Spanish]
