Casa de Mujeres ("House of Women") is a 1966 Mexican drama film directed by Julián Soler and starring Dolores del Río.[1] In some countries the film was named El Hijo de Todas ("The Son of All").

Plot

[edit]

At a Christmas party the women of a luxurious brothel all decide to become "mothers" to a baby boy born in a nearby home whose mother dies giving birth, and to reform.

The child grows up, and as a man informs them of his upcoming marriage. His "mothers" face the fear of being rejected and segregated by their own son by their previous lives as prostitutes.

Details

[edit]

Casa de Mujeres was the last film in which the legendary actress Dolores del Río starred in her native country. She played the role of a madame of a brothel. Del Río's performance in this movie shocked the public because of how she stood out among all the young actresses. The film was not a critical success, but it was very financially successful. One critic wondered: Has Mexican cinema come a long way from Santa to Casa de Mujeres?"[2]
