Tengo Fe En Ti

Filmed in Hollywood for the Spanish-language market, Tengo Fe En Ti (I Believe In You) was distributed in North and South America by RKO Radio. Rosita Moreno plays a dual role, appearing as prima ballerina Anna Tabor in the early scenes and as Anna's grown-up daughter Maria Ratyani in the rest of the film. The film's best performance is rendered by Franco (Frank) Puglia as Enrico Buriani, a heartbroken ballet teacher who raises Maria as his own daughter despite the fact that Anna had betrayed him many years earlier. Still in love with Anna's memory, Buriani grooms Maria to take her late mother's place in the ballet world. When she inevitably leaves her foster father in favor of a movie contract and a marriage to director Rodolfo Rey (Jose Crespo), Buriani swears vengeance, only to be dissuaded at the last moment by the realization that Maria has her own life to lead. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
