La mujer desnuda (The Naked Woman) is a Mexican drama film directed by Fernando Méndez. It was released in 1953 and starred Meche Barba and Antonio Aguilar.
A cabaret dancer, daughter of a circus clown, marries a famous singer. When both seem to be happy, a former lover of the young woman returns from her past and blackmails her to not reveal her dark past.
In this film, Meche Barba does not appear naked as the title suggests, but she was painted gold, and then dressed in expensive fur coats in a gruesome story with a melodramatic ending. The film was vetoed by the now defunct League of The Decency.[1] The great photography of Agustín Martínez Solares stands out and gives a touch of Film noir with the singer Antonio Aguilar as a sort of Mexican Victor Mature who gives a tremendous beating to the villain Miguel Torruco.[2]
