In the Flesh (Spanish En carne viva) is a 1951 Mexican musical drama film directed by Alberto Gout and starring Rosa Carmina, Crox Alvarado and Rubén Rojo.

Maria Antonia (Rosa Carmina) is a naive cabaret dancer who is seduced and abandoned by a sailor named Fernando (Crox Alvarado).

The film was created as a vehicle for showcasing of the beautiful Cuban-Mexican rumbera Rosa Carmina.

Very neat formally, En carne viva has his best times during the first hour of the film, where the native beauty of Rosa Carmina stands with own light among the foliage of a Veracruz recreated in a studio where Rosa Carmina seems her princess blue.

Above all, the film is a feast for the eyes to recreate again and again in the beauty of the Cuban-Mexican actress, who runs very well her character: not only her oblique and distrustful look is enormously seductive, also it is very believable as she very going from the tenderness to the sensuality and from anguish to the wise resignation.
