Lupe

About Lupe

The film — a mix of music, colors, abstract scenes and little dialogue — is based loosely on the life and death of Mexican-American actress Lupe Velez. The music, far more than mere background, borders on serving as the film’s narrative and ranges from classical to contemporary pop music.

Lupe (1967) is a comedy film directed by José Rodríguez-Soltero.

Mario Montez plays Lupe Velez. It runs 50 minutes and was released in January 1967.
