For ambition a woman sacrifices her true love and marries a man of fortune.

Unreleased Argentine film.

A 1931 silent melodrama, completely pro-military, filmed in real locations, with actors mixed in with sailors. The mere fact that it documented the army, which at the time ruled Argentina, being its first military coup, gives the film an even more cinematic value.

The film was filmed with sound, but the result was so poor that it had to be released as a silent film.

A woman and his lover spend a season at the mountains, in order to recover from the excesses of life in the city. But peace doesn’t last long: he tries to seduce a country-woman and she invites a mongrel over to her bedroom. The film is, in essence, a melodrama filled with jealousy and betrayal, but it also showcases some original elements that no other cinematography would have dared to suggest in 1929, like the possibility of a romance between an Indian and a white woman (with her taking the first step).

A 1925 film.
