A conquering woman of love, power, and fame, is challenged by the devil, as he too, wants to conquer all. Even the devil learns that there is no wrath like a woman’s scorn. –Vanguard Cinema
A fun film. Maria Felix is, as usual, stunning. However, the film suffers from a episodic narrative, which hinders it. It does not develop the characters or their actions as much as it could. It feels too rushed, even if the film lasts for 101 minutes. Also, the dubbing of Maria Felix leaves me unsatisfied. I want to hear her voice. This role lacks her inimitable persona!
