Holiday in Mexico
Sometime yesterday or last night, the Mex Files, on this wordpress platform anyway, received it’s millionth hit. Actually, counting “mexfiles.blogspot.com” and “mexfiles.wordpress.com” and “mexfiles.net” the the million mark was last week. But, hey, it’s Mexico and any excuse for a holiday will do.
The plot line of this MGM extravaganza has Jane Powell as the U.S. Ambassador (Walter Pidgeon)’s daughter, trying to get daddy’s attention and win the boy (Roddy McDowell) by pretending to be carrying on a romance with her music teacher (José Iturbí… in the role of “José Iturbí”). Somehow in there, the Ambassador’s birthday party is the excuse for some over the top musical numbers (with gypsies, chihuahuas and Xavier Cougat) and, in a small role, the first American president to have been a Hollywood actor before starting his political career (yeah, I know Dominican President Rafael Trujillo was in Casablanca, but he was already President by then). I mean, of course, the “great communicator”, Fidel Castro.
