Personally, I see this substance as most appropriate for the constellation Marlene and Joe found themselves in after The Scarlet Empress... and again, as with the vast majority of the films on my list, I gasp at every frame. In this case, literally, because Joe was behind the camera. Concha Perez became the fate not only of Pasqualito but also of my little things.
