IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
Roberto Gavaldón Mexico, 1951
Self-Styled Siren
En la Palma de Tu Mano (In the Palm of Your Hand, 1951) is the longest and most ambitious film of the bunch... The film augments Mexico City with jaw-dropping sets. Karin's office mimics an observatory, the domed ceiling adorned with big magic-sounding words and twinkling stars.

The Life Sentence
The finest film in the series is In the Palm of Your Hand, an entrancingly sensuous drama of deception, seduction, and murder. Director Roberto Gavaldón wrote the velvety, ambiguous script with his frequent partner José Revueltas. Its pulp poetry is salted with wit; the macabre hilarity of a scene where an adulterous couple gets a flat tire while transporting a corpse in their trunk is worthy of Hitchcock.
