In Caliente (also known as Viva Señorita) is a 1935 American romantic musical comedy film directed by Lloyd Bacon, starring Dolores del Río and Pat O'Brien. The film was written by Ralph Block and Warren Duff. The musical numbers were choreographed by Busby Berkeley. It was released by Warner Bros. on May 25, 1935.
Lawrence, critic and full-time boozer, comes to the cabaret In Caliente in Mexico to distance from Clara, a woman who wishes to marry him. Lawrence falls in love with the beautiful Mexican dancer Rita Gómez, forgetting that he once wrote a scathing review of her.
The film was set at the lavish Agua Caliente Casino and Hotel in Tijuana, Mexico. The resort hotel featured alcoholic beverages during Prohibition in the United States as well as live entertainment and casino gambling that attracted top Hollywood celebrities.[1] Elaborate dance numbers choreographed by Busby Berkeley, including the hit song "The Lady In Red," were a major component of the musical film.
