This electrifying rumbera classic stars Ninón Sevilla as Violeta, a cabaret dancer whose act of compassion entangles her in a violent gangster’s revenge. Swept between danger, sacrifice, and the lure of redemption, her story unfolds in a world where noir grit collides with musical splendour. A titilating showcase for Sevilla, it also highlights the artistry of editor Gloria Schoemann, a driving force of Mexico’s Golden Age cinema. Screening as part of 'Stronger Than Love: ¡Too Much Mexican Melodrama!', a programme that celebrates the lavish, emotionally charged world of 1930s–50s Mexican cinema with four restored classics that put women’s stories front and centre. From tempestuous romances to daring acts of defiance, these films showcase melodrama as a space where female desire, ambition, and artistry take the spotlight. Curated and presented by Invisible Women. Stronger Than Love ¡Too Much Mexican Melodrama! is delivered with the support of BFI FAN, awarding funds from The National Lottery.​ With special thanks to Viviana García Besné, Filmoteca UNAM and Film Noir UK.
