The film has good pacing in the beginning, but it gets lost, dispersed, and ends up being a victim of its bewildering musical numbers, which include: Russell, Freddy Fernández, and Gustavo Villacampa singing "Perfida" while shirtless in the bathroom; Russell wearing a straw hat and singing "Muchachita" (his big hit) to Irma Castillón, as they both tap-dance in the Hollywood style; in an audition, Russell singing "Quiéreme mucho" in Spanish and English, while Antonio Raxel makes the comment that if Russell sings in English, would he want his salary to be paid in dollars instead of pesos; and Russell singing "Amor, Amor, Amor" in a disconcerting musical number, complete with a couple from prehistoric times, another from the 8th century, an Arab with his harem, and Cupid. It's shocking and absurd. But in its defense, one can say that Russell, from a distance, does not appear to be so stuck-up anymore. There have been others who have been worse.
