Directed by her brother Julio Bracho, screen sensation Andrea Palma (1903–1987) stars as defeated wife and secret sex worker Julieta in this classic film noir made during the first decade of Mexico’s Golden Age of film production. Having worked in a Mexico City millinery in her teens, Palma could reflect on her lived urban experience for the role, her craft further honed after a short stint in Hollywood, where she worked alongside cousins Dolores del Río and Ramon Novarro. As lensed by the celebrated Gabriel Figueroa, Palma cements her rightful legacy as a major star of the period.
