A rural comedy classic of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema with Maria Felix and Jorge Negrete, El Rapto features outstanding photography and great music sung by Negrete. Felix, the greatest diva of Mexican cinema, stars as the beautiful Aurora, who has bought a magnificent hacienda from the town fathers (who had no right to sell it) without realizing that it really belongs to Ricardo (Negrete). Negrete was dying from hepatitis during El Rapto, his last film, but you'd never know it from the passion and playfulness with which he foils Felix, his former real-life wife. "With shades of The Taming of the Shrew, El Rapto moves fast, entertains, and embodies all the best attributes of Mexico's Golden Age" (San Francisco Bay Area 2004 International Film Festival). Presented with restored image and sound and never-before-see n sequences. In Spanish with English subtitles. Emilio Fernandez---Mexico---1953---100 mins.
