Victimas del pecado

Victims of Sin a glorious 1951 Mexican melodrama that emphasizes and foregrounds excessive emotional indulgence, by both the characters on screen and, if the director is successful, the audience. A no-holds barred, prime example is celebrated Mexican writer/director Emilio (El Indio) Fernández Romo’s Victims of Sin (Victimas del pecado). Set in México City’s red light district, Violeta, a spectacular Cuban dancer, propels the action start to finish.
