The Argentinian movie Los tallos amargos (1956) was directed by Fernando Ayala.
Carlos Cores portrays a journalist who forms an unlikely alliance with a Hungarian immigrant, played by Vassili Lambrinos. They open a fraudulent journalism correspondence school. All goes well until mistrust and jealousy intrude.
The acting in the movie is outstanding, and we are treated to a film score by the great Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla.
We saw this movie at the wonderful Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester. Congratulations to the Dryden for screening this film in its original 35mm format. Los tallos amargos was considered lost until a 35mm negative was found and restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
This movie might not be for everyone, but if you love film noir, this is the movie for you.
