About Basket of Mexican Tales
Strong-willed Luisa attracts lots of men, but her intelligence and sharp tongue often sends them running. When she meets Carlos, who is equally cagey, sparks fly. The two of them marry, and quickly begin clashing on a daily basis, humiliating each other as they try to teach one another lesson after lesson.
Directed by Julio Bracho, Basket of Mexican Tales leans on a strong ensemble — María Félix, Arturo de Córdova, Pedro Armendáriz — 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 romance titles of 1956.
