Michael Donnelly in Person Michael Donnelly is co-curator of Classic Mexican Cinema at UCLA Film and Television Archive. (Enamorada). A truly extraordinary film that deserves to be better known abroad. "María Félix is most radiant as the rich man's daughter sought after by a revolutionary general played by Pedro Armendáriz. The passions of political idealism and romantic love come head to head in this sweeping saga set against the Mexican Revolution of Juarez. Loosely adapted from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew (and Count Lucanor by Juan Manuel), the film displays some of Gabriel Figueroa's finest work. Magnificent Churrigueresque cathedrals are juxtaposed with a revolutionary atmosphere and provide the backdrop for plenty of romantic fireworks between Armendáriz and Félix." (Michael Donnelly) As our observers Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerry Hiler note, Woman in Love offers an almost magical, seamless integration of musical numbers, comedy and machismo, as well as amazing metaphysical dialogues between priest and revolutionary. "Better than John Ford."
