Nosotros

One of my all-time favorites, and an early starring role for Ricardo Montalban, which led to his first MGM contract. From the original story "Destino" by Cortazar y Robledo, a bad guy turns good, with loves won and lost along the way. Some good musical numbers included, sung by Alma Rivas and Amparo Montes, songs which remain very much in the romantic music favorites in Mexico to this day. A good film, one of the earliest at the start of the Mexican "Golden Era" of movies.

I remember this movie more for the theme song than for the actual plot and I agree with the previous poster that it was a tear jerker.

Montalban was his usual handsome, virile star crossed lover and his co-star Emilia Guiu was equally charming.

Most of the audience in Tampa enjoyed the film but were disappointed that it was not a bio-pic of Pedro Junco who wrote the plaintiff bolero which was the theme of the movie. Jundo, a Cuban composer, wrote the song "Nosotros" to his girlfriend stating that although he loved her very much and from the beginning, he had to say goodbye. The reason was that he had tuberculosis - a fatal illness at the time. While he was dying in the hospital his song was aired on the Radio.

This probably would have a been a far better plot!
