Fiesta

“A GLOROUS SPECTACLE OF GAYETY, COLOR AND SONG! Fiesta means fun in any language! It;s full of girls! It's full of laughs! It's Tecnicolorful to look at! It's a hit parade to hear!”

Synopsis

Cholita, after a long absence in Mexico City, is returning home to take up her duties as head of the rancho and, as everyone expects, to marry her childhood sweetheart José. Expectations are somewhat dashed as she shows up with Fernando to whom she is engaged. This makes José and Cholita's uncle more than a little bit put out as Fernando is not only not a Mexican, he is also a city slicker afraid of the country.
