Synopsis: Part drama and part romantic comedy, it is set during the Revolution and tells the story of a rebel general, José Reyes (Pedro Armendáriz), whose troops occupy the town of Cholula. He falls for the daughter of a wealthy landowner, Beatriz (the inimitable María Félix), despite the fact that the upper class is unsympathetic to the rebels’ cause and that she is engaged to an American (Eugenio Rossi). The local priest (Fernando Fernández, the director’s step-brother), an old friend of the general’s, tries to mediate between the fiery Beatriz and the headstrong Reyes during their rocky courtship. - Written by AFS
