Started only a week after the Cuban missile crisis and designed from the Cuban point of view as a thinly veiled propaganda film, the plot, or rather plots, feverishly explore the seductive, decadent (and marvelously photogenic) world of Batista's Cuba - deliriously juxtaposing images of rich Americans and bikini-clad beauties sipping cocktails poolside with scenes of ramshackle slums filled with hungry children and gaunt old people. In addition to its bravura technique, the film succeeds in exploring the innermost feelings of its characters and their often desperate human situations." . . "Drama" .
