Entertaining, sexy melodrama set in Franco's Spain, and based on a true story.
A young solider is torn between his virginal, virtuous hard working fiancée, and his hot- blooded, small-time criminal landlady, with whom he has a tempestuous affair. This leads to betrayals and ultimately murder.
Well acted, and never dull, but also never goes very deep into the characters, with sudden changes in alliance and attitude occurring without much explanation, and too fast to be believed. Consequentially, it's never very emotional, even if the story is tragic. A movie I enjoyed, but doubt I'd feel the inclination to see again,
