Nada Más que una Mujer stars a true legend of Spanish-speaking theater, Argentina's Berta Singerman, whose aura has been compared to Garbo and Dietrich, but who rarely appeared on film. Elegantly photographed by Rudolph Maté, she dominates every shot of this story of an entertainer in a cabaret/bordello in the Philippines, "a glamorous multicultural stew...with fabulous over-the-top romance, lush, moody music, and an extraordinary collection of Latin American theater talent." (Telluride Film Festival) Recently restored by UCLA Film Archives, this is one of the many Spanish-language films Fox made for Latin American audiences with the advent of sound but before dubbing or subtitles. The Russian-born Singerman, whose father founded Buenos Aires's first Yiddish theater, could (and did) fill a soccer stadium for her poetry recitals, such was her popularity and power as a performer. She toured internationally and was a champion of causes including Jewish war refugees. On screen and off, she was "electrifying...classy, brazen, dangerous, and sexy, with the exhilarating spark of defiance of a born freedom fighter." (Telluride Film Festival)
