INTRODUCTION
Mexican cinema led the Spanish-language film markets during more than fifty years.
Latin American tongues, customs, traditions and music had an ideal vehicle in those
poignant dramas, hilarious comedies, and enthralling adventures.
At the peak of its popularity, more than 600 venues screened Mexican films on a
regular basis in the United States; in other countries, like Colombia, its annual grosses
beat Hollywood’s more than once.
Mexican movies were watched not only in the Americas and in Europe; they also met
success in farther nations, such as Lebanon and Turkey. In Yugoslavia they became the
population’s entertainment of choice; even now, there are some mariachi bands in the
region that are a live testimony of Mexican cinema’s cultural influence. In Hong Kong
and Japan, masked wrestler movies have been worshipped by fans, and some are now
considered as cult films.
The Mexican film industry reunited the greatest talents of the Spanish-speaking world
and built the most powerful star system in Latin America. Its stars have become
legends that still fascinate new generations of movie aficionados.
Spectators continue enjoying those memorable films, while TV sitcom and telenovela
producers seek inspiration in the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.
