Un jour, en essayant le manteau de vison de cette dernière et en admirant son reflet transfiguré dans un miroir, María comprend qu'une autre vie est à portée de main…María-MagdalenaDolores del Río, vedette mexicaine qui a aussi conquis Hollywood, porte avec maestria ce double rôle de Marie-Madeleine, à la fois victime et pécheresse, qui relègue au second plan une poignée de faire-valoir masculins.

Le scénariste José Revueltas et le cadreur Alex Phillips, qui entament alors avec Roberto Gavaldón une collaboration fructueuse, comptent pour beaucoup dans la poignante beauté du film.
