...Infante plays José Carlos, a popular singer who falls for Ana Luisa (Emilia Gul?), a schoolteacher who's very proper, very blond, very snooty to those of darker hue. She's downright rude to José Carlos' closest comrades: his Afro-Cuban bandmate, Fernando (Chimi Monterrey), and the band's sexy, dusky lead dancer, Isabel (Chela Castro), who clearly has a crush on the oblivious José Carlos. "You lower yourself dancing with that mulatta," Ana Luisa sneers, to which her color-blind beau replies, "It was God's decision that she's of mixed race." Ana Luisa also...

First, y’all ain’t nice. Perhaps the cold weather prevented the youngsters of New England from learning proper manners, but something about this area of the country has caused an entire population to morph into curse-wielding morons. Just two hours in Harvard Yard—where one will likely hear “pisser” or “faggot” abounding amongst other disgusting words and mannerisms—is enough to make you yearn for old-fashioned Southern decorum...
