Donde Estas Corazon (1961) Reviews

This is an effective and entertaining look at a popular trio of femme singers in Mexico during the early 1930s. Directed and written by Rogelio A. Gonzalez and based on a story by Isaac Diaz Araiza, the musical biopic details the rise to fame of the Garnica Asencio Trio, enacted by Amalia Mendoza, Rosa Quintana, and well-known singer Lola Beltran. Although the story plays fast and loose with historical fact at times, the ambiance of the early '30s and the tunes are excellently rendered, giving an upbeat glimpse into Mexico's "golden age" of song. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
