Reception

Comparing the film with its previous 1952 and 1942 film versions, Emilio García Riera said that the films of 1942 and 1952 were better. Due to the scene that shows Garcés's character accompanied by an English-speaking blonde woman during a card game, in Stereotyped Images of United States Citizens in Mexican Cinema, 1930-1990, David E. Wilt cited the film as one of the films in Mexican cinema that extolled the figure of the blonde woman as an object of desire in Mexico.
