First of all, I'm a great fan of singer and actress Flor Silvestre, whom I consider is Mexico's greatest talent and the last living legend of both music and screen. "¡Viva la soldadera!" is unique because it is one of the few films in which Flor Silvestre is top-billed (this means her name is credited first and her fame has total precedence); I believe this did not happen again in Flor's following films.
The film's main quality is the excellent performance of Flor Silvestre as Dolores "Lolita" Vargas. She deserves an award for her acting in this film. This is one of her greatest films and she is skillfully directed by Miguel Contreras Torres, who wrote, produced, and directed the film.
