Editorial Reviews

Javier Solís was born in a poor section of Mexico City and his rise to stardom was a rapid journey from poverty to wealth. His humble beginnings as compared to colleagues Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante, gave him a greater capacity to represent the problems and temptations of Mexico’s poor. With Solís, the heroic singers of Mexican cinema embraced the realities of a less idealized and more real country.

Javier Solís nació en una de las regiones mas pobres de la ciudad de México, su ascendente carrera lo llevo de la pobreza a la riqueza de la noche a la mañana sus inicios son comparables a los de Jorge Negrete y Pedro Infante, con Javier Solís los heroicos cantantes del cine mexicano tomaron una forma mas real y menos idolatrados y mucho mas de pueblo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Javier Solis Numero 1, May 14, 2007

This review is from: El Senor De Las Sombras: Javier Solis (DVD)

I purchase this DVD because I love Javier Solis & I'm building a small collection of all his songs & movies.
I thought I knew everything about his life but this DVD has some things I did not know about it has many pictures of him when he was a child. I love the footage of the streets of old Mexico it shows all the old neighborhoods that are slowly dissapearing. This documentary of Javier Solis' life is in black & white although is very sad it is a good tribute to the memory of this still popular Mexican singer.

I bought all these great old Javier Solis movies for my husband, but the descriptions on Amazon were lacking. I bought some repeats so I hope to help others here: a great documentary about Javier Solis' life growing up in Mexico, his origins,his lifes problems and temptations.
