Cast: Tito Guízar (José Francisco Ruelas), René Cardona (Felipe), Esther Fernández (Cruz), Lorenzo Barcelata (Martín), Emma Roldán (Angela), Carlos López Chaflán (Florentina), Margarita Cortés (Eulalia), and Dolores Camarillo (Marcelina), Manolo Noriega (Don Rosendo), Hernán Vera (Venancio), Alfonso Sánchez Tello (Don Nabor).Summary: Orphaned siblings José Francisco and his sister Eulalia came to Rancho Grande to be watched over by their godmother Ángela. So did the unfortunate Cruz, their late mother's godchild, when she was orphaned as well. They grow up together with Felipe, the patron's son, who becomes José Francisco's best friend. Now Felipe has become the Patron, and has made José Francisco the manager. José Francisco is secretly in love with Cruz, but when Ángela notices that Felipe likes Cruz as well, a series of misunderstandings put their friendship to the test. This signature film marks the beginning of a new and distinctly Mexican genre, the comedia ranchera, which continues to be exploited in Mexican cinema. The classical hacienda (ranch) setting and its folkloric, romanticized nostalgia struck a chord with the Mexican middle class in the 1930s, doing much to establish mariachi as a national musical form.
