Review of Twilight

Twilight (1945)
8/10
Twilight of the love goddesses
4 October 2002
Excellent cinematography, a fine musical score and a dated script reviewed by a psychiatric expert as well as a surgeon expert, all this was state-of-the-art filmmaking in 1944, as I see it. All is still quite fascinating today, as far as I am concerned, although I recognize that very few people (movie historians excepted) are really interested in old b&W Mexican melodramas these days. Most interesting mentioning is the picture's intrincate flashback structure, full with time twists. And, of course, Miss Marín is absolutely gorgeous. Who else (but Maria Felix) would be able to induce such a fatal attraction and provoke such a lethal, twilight (= Crepúsculo, in Spanish) passion?
