| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Amusing 1943 Mexican Comedy; Awful DVD |
| This 1943 Mexican romantic comedy is a remake of a little-known 1936 Fox film titled Girls' Dormitory, starring French actress Simone Simon and Herbert Marshall. The Mexican version features crooner Emilio Tuero as a literature teacher at an all-girls boarding school (Marshall's role) and Puerto Rican Mapy Cortes as the young girl who falls for him (Simon's part). Katy Jurado (best known in the U.S. as Grace Kelly's Mexican rival in High Noon) has a small part as a bad girl. Given the musical backgrounds of the leads, the Mexican remake has many musical numbers, mainly showcasing Mapy Cortes (then at top star in Mexico). Its amusing, the leads are charismatic, and the supporting players are all good, but the film was rather clumsily made. The DVD edition is cheap, but, like most old Mexican films currently on DVD, the quality of image and sound is very bad (scratches, static, frames apparently missing) and there are no subtitles. Its still watchable, and unlikely to appear in another DVD edition anytime soon, but it gave me the impression that I was watching a bad VHS-to-DVD transfer. | |
