Standout Aspects

Department store looks that scream 'we're poor but make it fashion'.

Acting

Best for:Solo: Curious about vintage Mexican cinema? This one's a quick, spicy 75 minutes.·Friends: Watch with pals who love campy moral panics and fabulous 60s fashion.
Heads up:Language: Casual period sexism played for laughs; dated attitudes throughout.
