Featured review
In Palma De Mallorca , a wonderful seaside town , Marisol and her daddy (José Bódalo) are buskers raising some coins from tourists . The musician streets Marisol and her father perform their cunning activities in wise manners , as Marisol dances while her dad does a phony blind man to raise their daily meals from tourist tips . As Marisol sings splendidly throughout the streets and squares . They find competition from El Duo Dinamico (Ramón Arcusa and Manuel De la Calva) , two young pop singers , who compete with them while both of whom falling for her . Shortly after , there is a massive convention of ¨Morrison Hotels company¨ , a wealthy international enterprise of Hotels run by Mr John Morrison (Robert Hutton) who is assisted by Miss Nelly (Isabel Garcés) . Later on , Morrison meets Marisol and he attempts to get her international success around the world by singing and dancing.
This is a joyful as well as entertaining Spanish musical movie , nicely realized by Fernando Palacios . This an enjoyable and feeling movie with attractive musical set pieces and in final takes places the ordinary happy end . This is an attractive story proceeded in simplicity and delicacy and the sunny , shinning exteriors provide a lot of chances of dancing and singing . The main role "Marisol" is played by herself in a phenomenal way , can be said that she is perfectly adequate to his measure . Of course , Marisol steals the show as the splendid singer and dancer teen girl . Marisol is well supported by a fine secondary cast , plenty of familiar faces . And special mention for Isabel Garcés with her hilarious timing . The scenarios in which develops the deeds are perfectly designed . Musical score by Augusto Algueró responds appropriately to the ambient , originating a careful atmosphere . Luminous and glimmer cinematography by Antonio L. Ballesteros . The filmmaker Palacios as well as the famous producer Goyanes succeed in this picture , obtaining a great achievement , managing perfectly to the performers and taking advantage of them , giving the best of their acting . It's worthwhile mingle of music , spectacular choreography , comedy , sentimentalism and good feeling .
Marisol was an appealing Spanish actress and singer . Spanish film studios were looking for a new child star to follow the steps of Pablito Calvo, and make popular and populist folkloric movies and they found Marisol . She was discovered by her future producer Manuel J. Goyanes in an exhibition of the "Coros y Danzas de Málaga" in TVE in 1959 . Her debut in cinema was in 1960 and she complemented her activity in cinema with records , recitals and TV-shows . ¨Búsqueme Esa Chica¨ produced by Manuel J Goyanes , in fact , she was introduced to the movie business and discovered by this powerful producer in ¨Un Rayo De Luz¨ (1960) by Luis Lucia , who directed her in this first feature , where earned his famous name . He was widely known in Spain when she became a widely successful child star , following ¨Ha LLegado Un Angel¨, ¨Tombola¨, ¨Marisol Rumbo a Rio¨ which were big box-office hits in Spain during Franco's dictatorship , and she became Spain's most famous girl actress , outstanding his highly expressive face and eyes , charming eyes and innocent , angelical face . She was a milestone in Spanish "child prodigies" under Franco along with Joselito , Pili and Mili , Ana Belén and especially Pablito Calvo . And the producers trying to keep them as little kids for as long as possible . Due to false advertising by the studios that made their movies, and which wanted to make them appear younger than they really were , an obsession that haunted them through the whole of their careers . After the national and international hits as ¨La Nueva Cenicienta¨ , ¨La Historia De Bienvenido¨ and ¨Cabriola¨, and following other successful films as ¨4 Bodas Marisol¨, ¨Carola De Dia , Carola De Noche¨ . In her films she often sings Flamenco Cante , Saetas , Soleadas and other Folkloric songs . After several movies and records , and already a big star as a singer and an actress in Europe, the next move was trying to triumph in America, there she also played , sang and danced to grant local box-office . His success even reached around the world . However, life was not too glamorous for Marisol, as she was treated almost as a sideshow act by his managers , not allowing him to become an ordinary teenager . She was forced to keep his childlike image up to the seventies ; however , thanks to Juán Antonio Bardém changed his acting style , playing thrillers as ¨La Corrupción de Chris Miller¨ and ¨Poder Del Deseo¨ , and subsequently directed by prestigious filmmakers as Carlos Saura in ¨Carmen¨ , ¨Bodas de Sangre¨ and Mario Camus¨ in ¨Dias Del Pasado¨. Her last movies were the notorious TV series ¨Proceso a Mariana Pineda¨ and ¨Caso Cerrado¨ and she was not successful anymore . Marisol married two times , to Carlos Goyanes and Antonio Gades . Fidel Castro was the best man at her wedding to Antonio Gades . She has three daughters from her marriage to Antonio Gades , on of them the known actress Maria Esteve . Disappearing from public life in 1985, when she was still high in her career, she left everything , returned to her homeland, Malaga, and has lived as a housewife since then for her own choice . Has received many invitations to return, but has declined all of them, even simple interviews on TV. Retired In Malaga from acting at early age to become a discreet person and was then discovered much later that she had become a housewife and is now a social and humanitarian activist.
