Plot
El Globo de Cantolla (The Balloon of Cantella) is a frothy musical concoction, ideally suited to Mexican wartime tastes. The toothsome Mapy Cortes stars as Luisa, one of three amorous daughters of a wealthy mamacita. Though their mother has already chosen three husbands for her daughters, Luisa and her sisters (Josefina Martinez and Martha Elba) prefer to do their own shopping. Amazingly, our heroine falls in love with her mother's selection, Roberto (Jose Cibrian) -- especially after he describes a huge musical show he plans to stage, with Luisa as star. Even without English-language subtitles, El Globo de Cantolla is easy to follow; after all, the plot is virtually interchangeable with any of the 20th Century-Fox "South of the Border" musicals being produced at the same time. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviCast
