The first part of the Holiday events and gatherings is done and now on to the second part. In the middle of all this chaos, my mom, cousins and I were able to have some quiet time and sit down to watch an old Sarita Montiel film on DVD...."EL ULTIMO CUPLE" ("The Last Song"). It was full of music, gowns, music, love and loss....all that you want in an old film. At the time it was released in 1957 it was the most popular Spanish film of the time.
Sarita Montiel (he given name by the studios) was born in Spain in 1928. She is the daughter of a peasant and a beautician. She has always had a presence and is still going at age 81. I recently saw her on a television interview. She was in charge while smoking a cigar...
Sarita can be seen in some English language films such as "Vera Cruz" (1950) and "Serenade' (1955). It comes to show that elegance and glamour never goes out of style. Even though there are many good films out there, we tend to like seeing the classics.
