"La Violetera" is a a 1958 Spanish-Italian musical film designed to showcase the beauty and talents of its star Sarita Montiel. And it does it with success. However the sound synchronization is not perfect, sometimes Sara looks like she is dubbing herself, and the sound for the music numbers can be bad at times on non restored copies of this movie.
