The Other One
Thu 12 SepMagdalena and María are identical twin sisters who have taken different paths: while Magdalena becomes the widow of a millionaire, María lives a simple life and works as a manicurist. Desperation leads María to an appalling act, never imagining that fate has a cruel surprise waiting for her. Roberto Gavaldón’s classic noir, introducing the femme fatale, with Dolores del Río playing both roles, is a story of greed, secrets and crime. Gavaldón, one of the most notable filmmakers of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, received the Ariel Award (the Mexican Oscar) for Best Adapted Screenplay for this film in 1947.
