About The Black Man Who Had a White Soul
Peter Ward is a black singer who arrives to Madrid in 1907. He falls in love with Emma, and he offers her to be her dancer. She is restrained by her racial prejudices which will lead to an inevitable separation between them.
Directed by Hugo del Carril, The Black Man Who Had a White Soul leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo del Carril, María Rosa Salgado, Antonio Casal — 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 music titles of 1951.
