This tale of the rich behaving badly is set at a time when divorce was almost impossible in the State of New York. Cary Grant, who is unconscious during much of the time, plays a man trying to shed a viscous wife. (Clare Booth Luce's "The Women" does it better.)
Kay Francis plays the grasping wife, whose evil nature is represented by a hairstyle involveing two small horn-like arrangements.
Carole Lombard, playing a widow with a small child, shines as the reason he wants out of the marriage. The little girl is Peggy Ann Garner, charming but from the tory on the screen in the last half of the story.

The history of the independence movement in México is told with reasonable accuracy, and presented as the background to a romance between fictional characters Mariano Foncerrada and Teresa de Muñiz, played by the lovey Leticia Calderón.
Ofelia Guilmaín does a star turn as Doña Macaria, mother-in-law of the villaneous Don Pedro de Soto, played by her son, Juan Ferrara.
Mariano Foncerrada is played by Humberto Zurita, and appears in 138 episodes but is listed as appearing in only one.
Mariano Jiménez is played by Ramón Abascal and I believe appears only once, but is shown as appearing in 138 episodes.

The magnificent castle of Camelot is a harmony of blue and cream, and it and everyone in it is spotlessly clean. The men wear stylishly beautiful uniforms in blue and black with silver studs, and most of them remain invariably clean-shaven throughout the course of the movie. The more prominent women wear lovely clothes they change rather often, but sadly off-screen. The story, such as it is, is that of an omnipotent Lancelot (Richard Gere) who repeatedly saves the lovely and feisty Guinevere (Julia Ormond) from impossible situations conceived by the merciless Malagant (Ben Cross) so that she can finally marry the unbelievably wise, kind, and loving King Arthur (Sean Connery).
