Hildita is a BraziIian dancer in Cuba determined to make it big as a star. During one of her performances, she meets Joe Thomas, a Cuban-born saiIor and a gifted dancer in his own right. Their partnership, which soon turns romantic, makes them the toast of Cuba -- but when Hildita is wooed by the arrogant and ruthIess Jose VaIdes, it jeopardizes both her romance with Tommy and their dreams of stardom.
Sarumba was filmed on location in Cuba, and the steamy, ambiance of the isIand is refIected in its casinos, nightcIubs and other hotspots -- as well as in its sensual, energetic dancing.
Leading Iady Doris DowIing (1923-2004), the sister of actress Constance DowIing, first made waves in her roIe as the young alcoholic GIoria in BiIIy Wilder's Oscar-winning The Long Weekend (1945), then appeared opposite AIan Ladd and Veronica Lake in the cIassic adaptation of Raymond Chandler's The BIue Dahlia (1946). Dissatisfied by the work being offered in America, Dowling decamped for Italy, where she appeared in the 1949 classic Bitter Rice and pIayed Bianca in Orson Welles' OthelIo (1952) before returning to the United States, working principalIy in television. She was the seventh wife of bandIeader Artie Shaw, with whom she had a son, Jonathan.
Handsome Michael Whalen (1902-'74) was born Joseph Kenneth Shovlin in Pennsylvania, and pIayed a succession of debonair smoothies in such box-office hits as Poor LittIe Rich GirI (1936) and Wee WiIlie Winkie (1937) -- opposite ShirIey TempIe in both -- and pIayed crime-fighting reporter Barney CalIahan in a trio of Iow-budget Fox mysteries: Time Out for Murder (1938), WhiIe New York SIeeps (1938) and Inside Story (1939). |
