Tu Eres La Paz (1942) Reviews

The Argentine musical drama Tu Eres la Paz (Thou Art Peace) was written directly for the screen by celebrated Spanish novelist-playwright Gregorio Martinez Sierra, who also directed. Ernest Raquem stars as a famous sculptor whose romantic escapades are even more celebrated than his artistic achievements. After a torrid affair with dancer Alicia Barrie, Raquem is left with a baby son. The child's grandmother Catalina Barcena, whose own love life has been as colorful and checkered as Raquem's, vows that her grandchild will not grow up with the stigma of illegitimacy. Grandma spends the remainder of the film pulling strings to reunite Barrem and Barrie, accomplishing her goal on the brink of death. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
