A remake of The Taming of the Shrew set in a Mexican village during the Juárez revolution, Enamorada glows with the radiant María Félix as the spoiled landowner’s daughter and Pedro Armendáriz as her pursuer, General Reyes. Figueroa’s cinematography is the focal point, capturing the village’s churrigueresque cathedrals, the revolution’s animated atmosphere, and, noted one writer, “an extreme close up of María’s famously arched brow and moonlit eyes set into a landscape of Mexicanidad.” (Emilio Fernández, 1946, Spanish with subtitles, 35mm, 98 minutes)
