In Caliente
Friends don’t let friends marry golddiggers. So a pal (Edward Everett Horton) whisks Manhattan Madness critic Larry MacArthur (Pat O’Brien) 3,000 miles away from a husband-hunting honey to the sun, song and gaming of Agua Caliente. What neither gent knows is that performer Rita Gomez (Dolores del Rio) is there – and she’d love to get revenge for the unfair critical slam Larry gave her New York City tour. Silliness shines in In Caliente, a musical comedy whose Busby Berkeley numbers include the horses and hordes of Muchacha and the elegant The Lady in Red, a tune used often in Warner Bros. cartoons and rendered here in a way that’s “perfectly photographed and really a thing of beauty” (Frank S. Nugent, The New York Times).
