In 1952 the Cuban rumbera Amalia Aguilar, Lilia del Valle and Lilia Prado staged The Three Merry Midwives and The Interested Women, directed by Tito Davison and Rogelio A. González respectively. As the films were successful, the formula is repeated and Silvia Pinal was chosen to replace Lilia Prado to team up with the other two actresses and interpreting together three sleepers, sympathetic, cheerful and, above all, very sexy women. The story runs after an absurd plot with supposedly scientific nonsense led by the Puerto Rican filmmaker Fernando Cortes, less skilled than Davison, but the grace of the three beautiful actresses and some good dancing numbers of Adalberto Martínez and Amalia Aguilar, make the movie bearable. In 1953 Cortés filmed a new film with the three actresses: The Loving Women (Las cariñosas). ==References==
