Summary: Good movies, lousy image
Review: This is a good movie but Cozumel Films should have tried harder to deliver a decent product. The image is so crappy you want to.... fill in the blank.
Any way, the movie is ok.

Summary: Epoca Dorada Classic
Review: This is a great classic of Mexico's Golden Age of Cinema in the 1940s by its greatest director, Emilio Fernandez. Yes, these films are a little syrupy, but so was abuelita's atole; its the Mexican way. The opening scenes with the cannon going off and the horses galloping in the Revolution are wonderful. This film stars Maria Felix, the Katherine Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor of Mexican cinema, as well as Fernandez's regular Pedro Armendariz (see him also in the Bond classic From Russia with Love). Regarding the Cozumel Films DVD: the image is far from the Jeanne d'Arc treatment, but be happy to see this film at all. Also, there are no subtitles so its for Spanish speakers only. No extras to speak of, but we can forgive that if Cozumel films hurries along DVD releases of "La Perla", "Maria Candelaria", and most importantly, the 1949 classic "Salon Mexico".
