María de los Ángeles

An ambitious film, well made with a luxurious setting and the proper atmosphere of the times. Rich costumes and an interesting plot. Ernesto Arancibia, a fine director, makes a dense and long picture which includes scenes of strong action, dramatic tension and romantic spirit as well. We can also find beauty in their landscapes. Arancibia knew Mecha Ortiz very well and the way she'performs her character is remarkable. Some of the shots are long and without any cuts. Her seductive personality, dramatic contention and how she gets to a hysterical scene in the middle of a battle show her artistic height. Enrique Alvarez Diosdado is her companion along with his well known acting that his character requires. It is based on a novel which takes the same title and was awarded in its time and was written by the Argentinian Virginia Carreño and Constanza De Meneses. A remarkable cast includes: Jose Maria Gutierrez, Horacio Priani, Bernardo Perrone, Olga Casares Pearson, Elsa del Campillo and Pola Alonso.
