Dicen que Soy un Mujeriego ("They Say I am a Womanizer") is a 1949 Mexican comedy-drama film directed by Roberto Rodríguez.

[1] In this film, Mexican superstar, Pedro Infante co-starred with Golden Age Mexican super star Sara Garcia (“Mexico’s grandmother”)[2] as Doña Rosa, as well as with Silvia Derbez as Flor and child star "La Tucita" María Eugenia Llamas (five years old at the time).

While Pedro is ever popular with the ladies, he has his eye on Flor (Silvia Derbez), the niece of a neighboring rancher.

Flor flirts with him and plays him off against the disreputable saloon owner and town mayor, Pablo (Rodolfo Landa).

This 1949 comic classic was made at the height of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema (in Spanish: Época de oro del cine mexicano), which is the name given to the period between 1935 and 1959 where the quality and economic success of the cinema of Mexico reached its peak.

[4] The golden era is thought to have started with the film Vámonos con Pancho Villa (1935), which is to this date considered the best of the cinema of Mexico.

However, another woman comes up and starts haranguing him about his inattention to her and she ends by calling him a "canalla" (roughly translated, "you rotten louse").

Flor, the niece of the neighboring rancher, rides up to say that her uncle was in grave condition and she needed the priest to come.

The doctor enters the room and finds Flor's uncle eating a turkey with great enthusiasm.

Flor heads off a bad situation by dancing with him and suggesting that his presence there is not a good idea.

After trying to win her over by singing her a song while she is milking a cow at her ranch (followed by the usual rejection) Pedro tells his sidekick Bartolo to let a bull calf out of its pen to scare Flor.

However, always inappropriate, Bartolo lets a full grown bull out of its pen instead, which chases Flor up an apple tree.

That evening, the small child, Tucita shows up on Dona Rosa's mare at the entrance to her ranch.

At this point, Pedro comes home leading a band and roaring drunk, celebrating his engagement to Flor.

Dona Rosa runs off the band and drags Pedro into the house to meet Tucita, telling him that she has a “little present” for him.

Throughout the movie Tucita repeats to her puppy a lot of what she hears the adults around her saying as a way of showing the viewers how impressionable she is.

The disreputable Pablo then makes a big play for Flor, even suggesting that she should marry him out of “spite”, as a way to get back at Pedro.

He goes on a drunken binge, finally coming home drunk and singing for forgiveness in the courtyard of Dona Rosa's ranch.

He tries to tell Bartolo that his timing was very bad and Dona Rosa asks Pedro if he is sorry for his previous interest in Anonimo.

Yet, even at this moment when all seems to be resolved, Pedro pays too much attention to a passing beauty by exclaiming “Válgame Dios (roughly translated "Heaven Help Me!")”.

Tucita then also exclaims from the wedding party “Válgame Dios!” – showing one and all that despite her non-granddaughter status, she has not lost her place in Dona Rosa's home or heart.

[6] As Mexican American author, Denise Chavez, in her book "Loving Pedro Infante" put it humorously, "If you're a [Mexican], and don't know who he is, you should be tied to a hot stove with a yucca rope and beaten with sharp dry corn husks as you stand in a vat of soggy fideos.

If your racial and cultural background ethnicity is Other, then it's about time you learned about the most famous of Mexican singers and actors.

He sang "Mi Cariñito" on YouTube to his frequent on screen grandmother, Sara Garcia, so many times in so many of their movies together, that it was played at her funeral.

[8] The world-famous song Bésame Mucho ("Kiss Me a Lot", or more loosely translated to get its elusive Spanish meaning closer to its English meaning, "Smother me with Kisses"), from the composer Consuelo Velázquez, was the only melody that he recorded in English and he interpreted it in the movie A Toda Máquina (ATM) (At Full Speed), with Luis Aguilar.

Sara Garcia starred in numerous very popular movies before and after this one, in which she often played the part of a loveable, but no-nonsense grandmother.

"[9] Sara Garcia, María Eugenia Llamas and Pedro Infante maintained a cordial relationship for the following ten years, until his untimely death on April 15, 1957.

She was nominated for the Premio Ariel Mexicano (Mexican equivalent of the Oscar) for her role in this movie, but did not win.

María Eugenia Llamas did finally win the Ariel Award in 1952 for her role in her much less remembered 1950 movie, “Los Niños Miran al Cielo (The Children Look to Heaven).”[15] María Eugenia Llamas went on to star in other movies both as a child and as an adult, but she is less well remembered for them.
