The communicating vessels of the film melodrama are infinite: The director, Ramón Pereda baptized to the rumbera heroin with a Spanish nickname; and the maternal protection of Sara García than in other melodramas has proved to be a fierce advocate of the virtue. But Sara García was not a sweet grandmother as is usual, she was a drunk woman, perhaps inspired by Libertad Lamarque in the film La Marquesa del barrio. Of course, Damaso Perez Prado contributed to this film with the mambo of El ruletero.[1]
