Watched online, ok print.
11 songs in the Soundtracks.
The trivia item that said Col. Parker wanted EP to sing enough songs in his films to fill an album appears to be correct.
EP "only" made 2 films this year, not 3.
Plot elements: woman bullfighter, cliff diving, trapeze act, circus death, French chef, immigration, child acting as agent/factotum, teen brat. Fewer would be better.
EP's voice goes well with mariachi music.
I guess we get pretty scenery too. Nothing here to make me crave this film.
