Emilio Fernandez's unique blend of film noir, melodrama, and musical. Cuban-born acting-dancing sensation Ninon Sevilla plays Violeta, a cabaret performer who adopts the abandoned child of Rita (Rita Montaner) and Rodolfo (Rodolfo Acosta), her murderous pimp. Motherhood forces Violeta to give up her career, but the kindhearted club owner Santiago (Tito Junco) saves her from a life of poverty and prostitution-until Rodolfo, freed from prison, seeks to reclaim his son. Best known for the award-winning Maria Calendaria (1944) and The Pearl (1947), Fernandez infuses Victims with impassioned songs and performances by Sevilla, an icon of Mexican cinema and a purveyor of African, Caribbean, and Cuban dance styles.

Victims of Sin was fully restored in 4K from the original 35mm nitrate camera negative, which had been damaged from mishandling over the decades, by Peter Conheim (Cinema Preservation Alliance/USA) and Viviana Garcia-Besne (Permanencia Voluntaria/Mexico). Permanencia Voluntaria and Cinema Preservation Alliance co-produced the preservation effort with further assistance from IMCINE and the Academy Film Archive, bringing Victims of Sin back to the screen with a clarity and depth not seen since its original release.

VICTIMAS DEL PECADO

(Emilio Fernandez, Mexico, 1951, 84 min. En espanol con subtitulos en ingles)

Rara vez proyectada en los Estados Unidos y siendo su redescubrimiento algo esperado por mucho tiempo, Victimas del pecado es una combinacion unica de cine noir, melodrama y musica del afamado director mexicano Emilio Fernandez. La diva del baile y la actuacion nacida en Cuba, Ninon Sevilla, interpreta a Violeta, una artista de cabaret que adopta al hijo abandonado de Rita (Rita Montaner) y Rodolfo (Rodolfo Acosta), su padrote asesino. La maternidad obliga a Violeta a abandonar su carrera, pero el bondadoso dueño del club Santiago (Tito Junco) la salva de una vida de pobreza y prostitucion, hasta que Rodolfo, liberado de prision, busca recuperar a su hijo. El director de Maria Calendaria y La perla infunde a Victmas del pecado con apasionadas canciones y los bailes de Sevilla, un icono del cine mexicano y proveedora de estilos de danza africana, caribeña y cubana.

Victimas del pecado fue completamente restaurado en 4K a partir del negativo original de la camara de nitrato de 35 mm, deteriorado durante decadas, por Peter Conheim (Cinema Preservation Alliance/EE.UU.) y Viviana Garcia-Besne (Permanencia Voluntaria/Mexico). Permanencia Voluntaria y Cinema Preservation Alliance coprodujeron el esfuerzo de preservacion con la ayuda adicional de IMCINE y Academy Film Archive, trayendo Victimas del pecado de regreso a la pantalla con una claridad y profundidad no vistas desde su lanzamiento original.
