La devoradora

This movie was found at the Southeast Community Branch Library the day we dropped the tax return at the post office. La devoradora is very handsome in black and white. The library system really needs to get more of these. One of my favorite color movies is La escondida. This one is a neat and dark little tale, with María Félix incarnating evil in lush female form. The wardrobe is wonderful, even though the sets are few. I love the contemporary poster for this 1946 movie. Most of what little the library branches have is from Madera Video. Either Madera is losing rights to issue DVD-format versions of some of these classics or it is using the Cozumel name for DVD.
