You won't find a pool in a bullring. But you will find glamorous Esther Williams, who, except for one brief water sequence in the lively and colorful film Fiesta, forsakes her trademark swimsuit for the matador's red cape and black montera. Hollywood's Chlorine Queen portrays Maria, who disguises herself as her twin brother Mario (Ricardo Montalban in his first credited U.S. film) and enters the ring in his place after he abandons bullfighting for classical music studies. An Oscar -nominated score (including a restyling of Aaron Copland's "El Salon Mexico") paces this gender-bender tale of family, young dreams and bullfighting. And lovely Cyd Charisse plays Mario's partner in dance and romance. Fiesta time, classics fans!
