About El Hijo Del Pueblo
At the end of an unhappy romance, a Mexico City cabdriver decides he's fed up with big-city classism and hypocrisy, and goes home to his ranch. Soon, a group of city-folk are stranded on his property and dependent on him for help and sustenance.
Directed by René Cardona, El Hijo Del Pueblo leans on a strong ensemble — Vicente Fernández, Lucía Méndez, Sara García — 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 1974.
