Acceptable and interesting movie with emotion , drama , a triangular romance , several songs by Manuel Parada along with musical numbers , colorful cinematography by Jose F Aguayo and spectacular images from bullfighting . Main and support actors give funcional interpretations , as Arturo Fernández, Carmen Sevilla and an authentic toreador or bullfighter : Miguel Mateo Miguelin. Although the beautiful Carmen Sevilla -in her top splendor- overacting and gesturing excessively . They are well accompanied by a familiar support cast , full of notorious Spanish secondaries , such as : Manolo Gómez Bur, Tomás Blanco , Rafael Hernández, Amparo Marti , Rafael Alonso , Francisco Piquer and Jesús Guzman who goes on performing . From the late 50s to 60s Rafael Gil made five decent films about Bullfighting : Litri y Su Sombra 1959 , Chantaje a Un Torero 1963 , Currito De La Cruz 1965 , Sangre en Ruedo 1968 and this one . All of them made in professionality enough , and achieved successes at the Spanish boxoffice . This last rendition El Relicario 1970 was regular but professionally directed by the craftsman Rafael Gil , including various flasbacks .
