great melodrama!, 1 November 2003

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Maria Felix was famous for her femme fatale roles, and here she is at her best. She is a BAD BAD woman, who is nevertheless irresistible to men. She looks gorgeous, but she destroys men. When she kills one of her ex-lovers, she manages to get a new lover to help her hide the body. While she is seducing one man, she is plotting to marry another one. She destroys families. She destroys men's careers. She steals their fortunes. She stops at nothing to get her way. Of course she gets punished in the end (how could she not?) but she's one of those characters you love to hate. The costumes and sets are beautiful. Maria Felix's eyes are magnificent, and they burn with fire when she's plotting some evil deed. With a slight cock of her head to the side and an ironic smile, she makes men go mad. The final shot of her in her wedding gown is great - what a commentary on the "purity" of the woman wearing the white dress.
