Yambaó (also known as Cry of the Bewitched[1]) is a 1957 Mexican-Cuban drama film directed by Alfredo B. Crevenna and starring Ninón Sevilla.
In a sugar cane plantation, Captain Jorge (Ramón Gay) and his wife, Beatriz (Rosa Elena Durgel) live happily and are expecting a child.
Yambaó (Ninón Sevilla), the granddaughter of a witch named Caridad (Fedora Capdevila) supposedly murdered 15 years ago, has reappeared.
The prolonged contact with Jorge cements Yambaó's feelings for him and is reciprocated when he recovers, which leads her to believe her love spell worked.
However, when Jorge is informed that his wife is about to give birth, he rushes to her side and clears all thoughts of lust and infidelity from his mind.
Yambaó is played by the Cuban dancer Ninon Sevilla, who had a long career in the Cinema of Mexico of the 1940s and 50s, particularly in the subgenre known as the Rumberas film.
The Mexican actors Ramon Gay and Rosa Elena Durgel interpreted the characters of Jorge and his wife Beatriz.
