In his film review, García Riera labels Russell's character "el pocho Carlos." The character's actual name is "Carlos Lata". García Riera sarcastically wonders why Russell's character would be given such a last name as "Lata". In Spanish and in this context, "lata" means to "pester, bug, or be a pain, a nuissance." He also refers to Russell as the "Hollywood crooner with the smoky voice ... who sings 'Amor'" and sums up his review in one sentence: "The movie is an illogical mess and very inconsistent, but not obnoxious, a quality which the 'pocho' Russell was famous for having."
