Directed by José Díaz Morales • 1947 • Mexico
Starring Antonio Badú, María Elena Marqués, Ninón Sevilla

Laced with sly class commentary and blitzed with elements of noir and musical, this breezy crime comedy follows plucky heiress Lupe (María Elena Marqués) as she goes undercover first as a criminal and then as a housemaid to an arrogant doctor (Antonio Badú) in order to infiltrate the band of thugs threatening her father. Lighting up the screen in two dazzling production numbers, dancer and soon-to-be-star Ninón Sevilla makes her supernova film debut.
