The Torch (film)
The Torch (Spanish: Del odio nace el amor', meaning 'love is born from hate) is a 1950 Mexican / American film directed by Emilio Fernández. The film is a lesser remake of Enamorada which starred María Félix and Pedro Armendáriz. The film is also known as Bandit General in the United Kingdom.
Plot summary
The Mexican revolutionary General Jose Juan Reyes (Pedro Armendáriz) and his men descend upon and take over the small town of Cholula, Puebla, and take the money of the rich men of the zone for the Mexican Revolution. The revolutionary is a Robin-Hood type vigilante that forces the local businessmen to bend to his will, while the townspeople admire him for his cause. Jose Juan falls in love with the Señorita Peñafiel, the explosive daughter of the richest man of the zone. Despite her disdain for Jose, he pursues her romantically. She is eventually won over. The original script is based on William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
Criticism
In The Torch, Felix as Beatriz was replaced with producer and star Paulette Goddard as Maria Dolores. New scenes were added to The Torch which depicted an influenza plague killing several townspeople and Goddard's Maria Dolores drops everything to help before leaving her life of luxury to follow the man she comes to love.
