Film Review, information: “Arriba el norte”

Eccentric Colonel Valente Cordero (Joaquín Pardavé) forbids women to set foot on his ranch because, during the Revolution, his sweetheart Maria (Marga López) left him for another man. Irene (Marga López) and Abelardo (Luis Aguilar) are injured when their cars collide near the ranch, and Cordero is forced to give them shelter. Abelardo is the son of the mad Cordero blames for stealing Maria; Irene, who strongly resembles Maria, is allowed to stay only because she claims she is Abelardo’s wife. Irene and Abelardo fall in love. When Abelardo’s father arrives to pick up his son, the bitter Cordero learns Maria had been faithful to him after all
