Movie Reviews of El Dia Que Me Quieras
Movie Review: Two Great Tangos Sang When Gardel Was Nearing Immortality.
Summary: 5 Stars
"El Dia que me Quieras" (1935) ("The Day You Love Me") was filmed at NYC in January 1935. Later that year Carlos Gardel will die in an airplane accident.
The story is a classical melodrama scheme: young and rich aficionado singer, Julio, falls in love with beautiful professional dancer, Margarita. At the same time Julio's wealthy father is trying to create an economical alliance marrying his son an heir, to his competitor's daughter.
Obviously Julio will not comply with his father's plans and is expelled from his parent's house.
He marries his sweetheart but is unable to earn his life as a tango singer.
A girl is born to the couple but Margarita fells ill. Desperate Julio stole money from his father's coffer. Unfortunately this money is too late to save Margarita's life.
Around twenty years after Julio has attained fame and money and Marga his daughter is his partner and company's dancer.
As this IS a true melodrama a young and rich chap, Daniel, will fall in love with Marga and once again a strict father oppose the lover's plan.
Will story be repeated? Well let leave at least this little enigma to the viewers.
So the argument is not very original and the whole film is quite naïve, but ... there are two unforgettable Tangos sang by Gardel: the joyful love declaration "El Dia Que Me Quieras" and the mournful "Sus Ojos se Cerraron". Just those feature more than justify buying this DVD.
Gardel's fans and Tango lovers: do not let this musical time capsule go unnoticed!
