La marquesona

"Marquesona" is the central figure of a flamenco picture made by a group of artists who go from town to town with their art. Rosa, "marquesona's" daughter meets a gentleman with money, Eduardo, with whom she escapes, abandoning her mother as his father did years ago. The "marquesona" decides to go ahead and give more impetus to her art and gets great successes again. Later, Eduardo Rosa and will see the theater where she works with the intention of seeking forgiveness.

Directed by Eusebio Fernández Ardavín, La marquesona leans on a strong ensemble — Pastora Imperio, Luchy Soto, Jesús Tordesillas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1940.
