The Other One
1946 · Movie · 98 min. · Mexico
Manicurist Maria Mendez encounters her twin, Magdalena DeLago (Delores Del Rio in a dual role), at the funeral of Magdalena's wealthy husband. The two sisters have been estranged ever since Magdalena tricked Maria's sweetheart into marriage years before. At Magdalena's mansion Maria is in awe of her twin's opulent lifestyle and her long pent-up bitterness comes out. The fact that it all could have been hers makes her own life seem worthless even though her detective boyfriend Roberto (Augustin Irusta) loves her and wants to marry her...
