Russ G 02/06/2023 Only reason to watch this is Miss Turner in her glamorous coiffure, gowns, and smart suits. Senor Montalban is the tall, dark and handsome Latin Lover, but Boomer audiences can't watch this without thinking of "De Plane!" and "fine Corinthian leather!" It's half musical, half romcom and it couldn't come out of the Fifties without racial stereotypes. Going by the formula I had expected it to end with Nora returning to her former beau but it didn't turn out that way.

See more 09/17/2016 Well mounted Lana Turner vehicle that takes her south of the border for romance in South America. The only reason I watched this film is because I'm a huge Ricardo Montalban and not at all in an ironic way. If you watch Montalban's early Hollywood films, he has an amazing screen presence, especially in his few leading roles where he wasn't playing stereotypical ethnic parts like he does here, he really did deserve to have been a major star. This film is absolute fluff, but it's well made fluff from director Mervyn LeRoy that features a handsome cast, that includes beside Turner and Montalban, John Lund, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen, and Rita Moreno.

Lana Turner and Ricardo Montalban give incredible performances. The script is well written. Mervyn LeRoy did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor and romance. Latin Lovers is a must see. See more 06/14/2013 There's a reason this is one of Miss Turner's more obscure titles. Lesser Lana with plush trappings but a silly story line with horribly dated gender attitudes. Lana's clothes are beautiful but her hair is shellacked into place throughout, its not unattractive but is strangely immobile.
