Laura Montalván: But I didn't want to leave without thanking you for what you did for me tonight.
Ricardo Fuentes: I did nothing for you! I can very well prevent someone from being robbed, but I wouldn't give anyone away. That's all.

Carlos Gardel plays Ricardo Fuentes, who leaves Buenos Aires to go to Barcelona to open a tango bar. Gardel sings some beautiful songs "Por una cabeza", "Los ojos de mi moza", "Lejana tierra mía" and "Arrabal amargo", this one as a part of his tango bar show where he even dances a tango with Rosita Moreno (Laura Montalván) in a very elegant way. I saw this film because my grandmother loves Carlos Gardel and the unique way he sings tangos but not expecting very much and I have found it quite enjoyable. Plot is not silly but logical and nicely done. I have enjoyed the tango bar dancing and singing routine specially: I had never seen dancing tango in a so beautiful and elegant way, far from the usual suburban way. As a curiosity, you can see a few views of Barcelona main streets back in 1935. A curiosity and a must see film for all the Gardel fans.
