1958: "La violetera" with Sara Montiel

In previous posts, I've written of my love for Spanish songs and traditions.

To be honest, I didn't like this movie the first time around.  Years later, I saw it again and appreciated Sara Montiel's voice and acting skills.

"La Violetera" was released in 1958.   

Sara died in 2013 and left behind quite a legacy of movies and recording, including "Vera Cruz" (1955) with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster and "Run of the Arrow" (1957) with Rod Steiger.

It's a nice movie.
