The interestingly titled A Woman in Love-interesting, because it is about a man in love-is known variously as Mexico's Gone with the Wind and its Taming of the Shrew, perhaps by those who haven't seen It Happened One Night and Morocco. It happened one Revolution: Pedro Armendáriz is the general José Juan Reyes, who rides into the colonial town of Cholula asking “Who are the rich in this pueblo?,” executes a few of same in the name of the revolutionary ideals in which he truly believes, finds his Beatriz in María Félix, and rides out a man humbled by the “charity, love, and humility” he came in preaching. The Gable & Colbert antics of Armendáriz's man of the people and Félix's aristocratic firebrand are fun, but what captivates, even mesmerizes, is the film's portrayal of revolution and religion as conjoined elements of the Mexican character. Gabriel Figueroa employs his trademark chiaroscuro in town and church to explain what the script cannot-how the general confuses Beatriz with Jesus, and leaves with a very unlikely camp follower by his side.
