Product Description
1957 Release. Talented Actress and Popular Music Singer, Better Known as Sarita Montiel, Became One of the First Sex Symbols from Spain to Attract Hollywood's Attention with her Captivating Performances. In the Early '50s, Montiel Settled in Mexico and Began her Singing Career While Working Along with Pedro Infante, Manolo Fabregas and Agustin Lara. In 1954, the Acclaimed Actress Had the Opportunity to Work Along with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster. Montiel Rose to Latin Music Stardom with the Release of El Ultimo Cuple Movie Soundtrack. During the 1970s, the Multi-lingual Star Toured the World Leading Celebrated Musicals.
If you've never seen or heard of this perennial favorite you are missing a lot. It is one of those films that refuses to die like "Casablanca" or "Gone With The Wind." When it was first shown back in 1957, it ran for over a year in Europe and Latin America. (Not even Cameron's "Titanic" can boast that in any country.) When we talk about "EL ULTIMO CUPLE" you have to talk about its star SARITA MONTIEL. She dominates the film with her beauty, her personality and her voice. After years of moderate success in Spain, Mexico and even Hollywood, Miss Montiel found the right vehicle for her talents with this film. She has been a legend ever since.
As unforgettable as the film, are the songs by Miss Montiel. Since the movie takes place in the early 1900's the songs are all from that era and were picked to compliment the plot. Some of them like "Ven y Ven," "Fumando Espero" and "Sus Picaros Ojos" have a strong sexual content. ("Fumando Espero" was branded obscene by Spanish Catholic bishops.) Others are celebration of land and country like "Valencia", "La Nieta de Carmen" and a patriotic French hymn "La Madelon.". But Montiel outdoes herself with the romantic tunes of love-gone-wrong like "El Relicario," "Tu No Eres Eso" and the haunting "Nena." Once you listen to them you are hooked for life. So that you can gage the impact of these songs, let me inform you that all of them made it to the "top ten" in hit parades in over 20 countries. Nothing like that was seen again until 1964 when The Beatles dominated the charts.
In short I recommend the soundtrack to all but it would really help if you saw the movie before. It's a colorful nostalgic trip enhanced by the presence of a real movie star Sarita Montiel.
