The Woman of the Port (1934 film)

The Woman of the Port (Spanish: La Mujer del Puerto) is a 1934 Mexican romantic drama film directed by Arcady Boytler and starring Andrea Palma.

In a port that is facing the Gulf of Mexico, she establishes herself above a sordid cabaret, and starts “selling love” to the sailors that come from afar.

Arcady Boytler's film La Mujer del puerto had some strong themes of incest and prostitution.

It would be tempting to attribute the films credentials with Boytler's Birth nation, but the reality of things is that it is an untouched topic.

In other words, you have two opposing sides: on one hand you have the highbrow, Europeanized elite dream of inserting the nation’s creative talent into global stream, and on the other you have ancient and borrow elements, is produced by and from the masses.

[3] Boyltercaptured the heart of the masses even through the modernizing form of cinema adding sound and incorporating the music of the people being rancheras.
