This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Also known as Xochimilco.

Dolores del Rio plays Maria, an Indian flower seller in the floating gardens of Xochimilco, outside of Mexico City. She is in love with a peasant, played by Pedro Armendariz, but her simple happiness is threatened by the harassment of the townspeople, and the greed of a local boss. All of the misfortunes that befall the struggling couple seem to be linked to a mysterious painting...

María Candelaria won the Grand Prize and best cinematography at the first Cannes Film Festival in 1946, and best cinematography at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1947. Its high profile at both festivals helped establish a postwar European market for Mexican film, and boosted the careers of all concerned.

Maria Candelaria
The film is every bit deserving of its honored place in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema Movie Detective's print is quite sharp with only occasional speckles. Thank you Movie Detective for tracking down this rarity!

Rare find, fast
I so appreciate getting old Mexican films with English subtitles from Movie Detective that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Very fast service. Just a copied DVD, no case, etc., but a treasure.

A goodie from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema
Affecting melodrama shows us how petty and nasty people can be. The beautiful cinematography and a nice performance from Pedro Armendariz are the films highlights. Good print too.
