Smoke in the Eyes

Humo en los ojos (Smoke in the Eyes) is a Mexican drama film written and directed by Alberto Gout.

The plot was inspired by the same named song of Agustín Lara, who brought other tropical themes along with Juan Bruno Tarraza and Rafael Hernández Marín.

In his essential and delicious Documentary History of Mexican cinema, the researcher Emilio García Riera writes the following comment: It's funny the outcome of this tropical melodrama.

David Silva feels incestuous by simple solidarity with her former lover Maria Luisa Zea and that makes him give up of a Meche Barba more "femme fatal" than ever.

In the microcosm of the tropical cabaret, the director Alberto Gout discovered how the passions tragically collide with the revelations of kinship.
