El Ultimo Cuple (1957) and La Violetera (1958) are two classic films that have been favorites of movie fans for decades. Both were huge box office hits when first released and they made actress singer Sara Montiel a household name all over the world.
The plot of both films take place during that romantic period at the beginning of the 20th century called "la belle epoque," and consequently the marvelous songs that Miss Montiel sings are all from that era but refreshed by the vocalist´s more up-to-date interpretation. The films also feature a luxurious wardrobe, plush sets and locales all photographed in brilliant Eastmancolor plus a good cast that includes Italy´s Raf Vallone and France´s Frank Villard among others.
El Ultimo Cuple and La Violetera deserve much better than this cheap DVD, -obviously a bootleg-containing two worn out copies of the films with faded colors and lousy audio. Let´s hope that some legitimate American home video firm sees the light and releases restored copies of these two gems on DVD or, better yet, in Blu-ray with English subtitles. It´s about time!
