About One Who's Been a Sailor
Two shoeshine girls and a newspaper vendor survive in the Mapocho neighborhood of Santiago. While looking for better luck, Maruja becomes involved with a businessman who helps her become a famous singer. Meanwhile, the two shoeshine boys happen to come across some money from a bank robbery, changing their luck.
Directed by José Bohr, One Who's Been a Sailor leans on a strong ensemble — Eugenio Retes, Hilda Sour, Arturo Gatica — 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 comedy titles of 1951.
