Review
In this film, the Mexican rumbera Meche Barba shares credit with the young star of the moment, Silvia Pinal, who plays her younger sister in this melodramatic tale. Meche was known for her way of dancing in imaginary scenarios in the Mexican cinema. Barba and Pinal share credits for second time (the first time was in the film The Sin of Laura (1949), one of the first movies of Pinal).[1][2]
