Sombrero

Maybe the high point in the quasi-Mexican romantic-drama-musical from producer Jack Cummings at MGM, Cyd Charisse as gypsy maiden Lola must purge a guilt complex before she can marry suitor Ruben (Rick Jason), with a Hermes Pan dance to a Saul Chaplin tune in a costume by Helen Rose, in Sombrero, 1953.

Splashy opening from producer Jack Cummings, in the Latin hybrid romantic comic-drama with music, largely shot in Mexico, Ricardo Montalban addressing the camera as “Pepe,” heading the quasi-Latin cast, in MGM’s Sombrero, 1953.
