A sly Columba cheesemaker (Ricardo Montalban) strums guitars, croons love ballads and dons disguises to woo the daughter (Pier Angeli) of Milpa Verde's mayor (Thomas Gomez). The seriously ill scion of a wealthy family (Vittorio Gassman), pledged to marry a grasping "proper" woman (Nina Foch), really loves the unjustly scandalized Maria of the River Road (Yvonne de Carlo). A handsome candymaker (film-debuting Rick Jason) catches the sweet tooth - and affections - of the gypsy sister (Cyd Charisse) of a famed matador (Jose Greco). Both Greco (fiery flamenco, of course) and Charisse (channeling her inner gypsy) go fantastically footloose in dynamic dance sequences. (official distributor synopsis)
