Production notes



As a superstar, the Cuban rumbera Ninn Sevilla asked to Producciones Caldern to call again Gabriel Figueroa as her photograph and Julio Bracho, one of the most prestigious filmmakers in Mexico, to direct her. The result was good: 'Take Me in Your Arms' is a film that has grown over time as 'Adventuress', 'Victims of Sin' and 'Sensuality'. The film, which was shot with the binomial Ninn-Bracho, is a melodrama of bitter family feuds and vendettas, by a filmmaker on the crest of the wave, in the height of his success. There is everything: landowners, fishermen, sinister union leaders, impossible love; a young lady deceived and sexually abused. The whole conflict was dominated by great personalities: Carlos Lopez Moctezuma, Andrea Palma, Rodolfo Acosta, Andrs Soler and Ninon Sevilla as an ingenuous young girl dragged by a whirlwind of calamities.
