Mexico de Mis Recuerdos

Mexico de Mis Recuerdos (My Memories of Mexico) is a lavish period picture, a genre popular with war-weary Mexican audiences. Set during the controversial Porfirio Diaz regime, the film's hero is Joaquin Parrave as Diaz's aide. Befriending a group of travelling entertainers, Parrave does his best to protect the performers from harm as they wend their way through the country. He also develops a crush on a refined young lady (Sofia Alvarez) who joins the show folk so that she can be nearer to her boyfriend (Luis Aldas). Many of the film's highlights are staged at the Teatro Principal, one of Mexico's most popular music halls.
