MI ULTIMO TANGO is one of the major films in Sara Montiel's career. Notwithstanding the naive screenplay, the relatively poor production values (these films were made under difficult technical conditions on a tight budget - basically the equivalent of American B movies of the forties and fifties), the film is able to entertain and eventually touch the emotional chord of its audience thanks to the sheer talent of a cast of wonderful character actors and the incredible beauty of its star, la Montiel. Americans have no idea how important Sarita Montiel has been to audiences in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking worlds. She enjoys a mythical status on a par with such international actresses such as Brigitte Bardot, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and other major names of the fifties and sixties. Maurice Ronet is a captivating romantic lead for this legendary Spanish actress-singer.

Mi Ultimo Tango (My Last Tango)

Probably the best Spanish-made film Sarita Montiel ever starred in. I remember my parents taking us to see these Spanish language films at an old movie theater in Washington Heights. One of my favorite memories. The story is about a rags-to-riches-to-rags-to happiness journey of an impoverished but highly talented singer. I found a good quality DVD-R. Otherwise this film is only on DVD or Blu-Ray in European format. It would be nice to see them available in the US in Region 1 format. Unfortunately these type of films don't seem to appeal to a non-Spanish speaking audience.
