Talpa

The older of the siblings, Tanilo (Victor Manuel Mendoza) is a well-to-do family man; the other, Estaban (Jamie Fernandez), is one step above a wastrel. When Tanilo is felled by illness, Estaban is forced to take over the family's blacksmith business. He also inaugurates a romance with Tanilo's attractive young wife Juana (Lilia Prado). Punishment is eventually doled out in a manner which suggests that God Himself is exacting retribution on the adulterous couple. Originally released at 87 minutes, Talpa was pared down to 73 minutes for American consumption.

Las mujeres de mi general
6.8/10
South-of-the-border screen idol Pedro Infante, Sr. headlines the period drama Las Mujeres De Mi General, set during the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s and '20s. Infante stars as a rebel general caught up in a tempestuous romantic tug-of-war between two women: his ex-girlfriend (Chula Prieto) and his wife (Lilia Prado). This love triangle yields devastating consequences for the wife, including imprisonment and estrangement from her child; when she is finally reunited with the baby and the general, all concerned (including the mistress) must face an onslaught of terror from bellicose governmental soldiers.
Después de la tormenta
6.8/10
This Mexican melodrama may have been released above the border as After the Storm. The principal characters are a pair of twin lighthouse keepers. They try their best to live together with their wives under the same roof, but the delicate balance is shattered when one of the brothers falls in love with his sister-in-law. When one twin is lost during a storm, the other assumes his identity, with the expected romantic complications. If Despues de la Termenta sounds familiar, it is because the screenplay was inspired by the 1946 Bette Davis vehicle A Stolen Life.
