"Maravillas del Toreo", (Marvels of the Bull Ring) from Mexico City native, and writer-director Rafael J. Sevilla, is among the most successful of several movies which focused on bull-fighting that were released in the 1940's. This one even made a very respectable showing with U.S. audiences. Reasons for the film's cross-cultural appeal is likely because of interest in its stars. hilean-born Conchita Cintron, called the Golden-Haired Goddess, was the sport's first and only real-life female bullfighter. She was paired with Mexico's most famous Matador at the time, the legendary Pepe Ortiz.
