Los Ricos También Lloran means "The Rich Cry Also."
This story is the Spanish version of a female Cinderella. Later on it becomes a male version of a Cinderello (not "a" but "o"). The beginning of the show was going in one direction with a lot of bad people who made the story interesting. Later they all suddenly disappeared from the show and the telenovela took a different twist. It was like watching two different shows. My favorite actress is the niece, Ester. She could make a person's blood pressure boil. Next was the old man, Alberto's father.
Editing: There were some abrupt cuts that made the story seem strange. Somewhere in the show they changed an actor and possibly one of the actresses, with the abrupt cuts and the change in personnel I got a little lost. At times the music was so loud that it drowned out the voices.
Subtitles: English subtitles only
The show was really interesting at the very beginning and at the very end. Parts of the movie were boring but I suspect it is because they cut out areas that would usually build up suspense.
At 13.5 hours of Spanish then this DVD is worth buying for English speakers trying to learn Spanish. I would not recommend paying more than $15 for it though.

Movie Review: "los ricos tambien" editan!
Summary: 3 Stars
The picture quality is as good as it could be for having been produced in the late 70's. The trouble with the older novelas is that they are redubbing the suspense music fans have come to identify with the novelas. It is obvious to anyone that this is done for royalty reasons, but the new music is just cheap and dreadful. I quite don't understand the royalty factor since you could still hear the old music underneath if you lend a close ear and in their attempt to drown it out, they distort the actors' lines at times. Like all other new to DVD novelas, it is severely edited. Though fans are well familiar with the storylines, the editing is a bit extreme. But I digress, and fans will still buy these. I did! I love amazon to death but there are some retail outlets where you can get these same versions for cheaper.Movie Review: They certainly tossed proffesionalism out the window with this one..
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been buying these abridged DVD telenovelas for quite sometime and have enjoyed them. There have been some f'ed up ones (Cuna De Lobos, Lazos De Amor) and there have been some near flawless ones (Amarte Es Mi Pecado, Dulce Desafio, Amor En Custodia). However, "Los Ricos Tambien Lloran", the original telenovela clasica, comes in a DVD version so embarrasing it's offensive to its legacy.
I was not expecting the original score at all since I know Televisa Home Entertainment is cheap and does not want to pay royalties. But they have incorporated a new score and theme song that sometimes is so loud it ovewhelms dialogue to inaudible levels. It's terrible!
And the editing of this is probably one of the worst. I understand this telenovela ran for 200 episodes originally, but while most of the DVD telenovelas cut off certain storylines, "Los Ricos" tries to piece together everything but often times ends up putting only the end of a topic and one is left confused when we see things happen that had no explanation.
And finally, the picture quality. Some parts look amazing..and others have lines and changes of colour as if they came from a bad video transfer. I don't know if the transfer Televisa had of this has gone away but it certainly could have used some colour adjustment.
It's unfortunate that Televisa Home Entertainment lacked proffesionalism when releasing this classic telenovela to the public. It would have been great to see this one in all its glory and give it the respect and praise it deserves and not this bastardized version.
