Powerhouse Cuban star Ninón Sevilla brings a magnificent combination of ferocity and tenderness to her portrayal of nightclub performer Violeta. This foremost example of the famed cabaretera subgenre brings together noir, the musical and melodrama with a dynamic screenplay and, once more, vivid cinematography by Gabriel Figueroa.

Fernández brings a spectacular intensity and compassion to his films, supported by the careful work of Gloria Schoemann, one of the industry’s most accomplished editors. With Tito Junco and Rita Montaner.
