Jalisco Sings in Seville (Spanish: Jalisco canta en Sevilla) is a 1949 Mexican-Spanish musical comedy film directed by Fernando de Fuentes and starring Jorge Negrete, Carmen Sevilla and Jesús Tordesillas.[1] [2] This film represents the first Mexican-Spanish cinematic co-production. The story and musical numbers emphasize the cultural affinities between Mexico and Spain while warmly celebrating their differences. It was shot at the Chamartín Studios in Madrid and on location in Seville. The film's sets were designed by the art director Sigfrido Burmann.

## Plot

[edit]

The story concerns a handsome charro from Jalisco, and his fat sidekick. The charro receives news that he has inherited a fortune from a distant relative in Spain, and so he must travel to Seville to collect it. A legal technicality impedes the speedy disbursement of his inheritance, so our the two heroes take jobs on a local ranch as farmhands. It turns out that the owner of the ranch was formerly a bullfighter, and has fond memories of Mexico. For this reason he befriends the charro. The charro goes on to win the heart of the ranch owner's daughter, and manages to recover his inheritance with his father-in-law's help.
