Televisa produced a Yesenia soap opera for TV in 1970. The home video market didn't exist at the time and they produced a Yesenia movie starring Jacqueline Andere in 1971. Jorge Lavat and Irma Lozano played the same characters from the TV soap opera. Yesenia was also remade for Mexican TV in 1988 starring Adela Noriega. Yesenia, a young Gypsy girl, falls in love with a soldier. The two get married and they face difficulties in the face of racism and the socio-political climate. There's a big plot twist in the story! Jacqueline Andere looked very sensual in 1971! Yesenia(1971) is a classic of Mexican Cinema.

I've seen the movie when I was a little girl, and I was very happy to find it on Amazon. It was made in 70th, so don't expect HD quality, but if you are into telenovellas , you will like it. My grandma liked this movie a lot, I remember how she took me to the theater to watch this movie first time, so when I had found it on Amazon I wanted to see it again kind of like a tribute to my grandma. It is like 3 hour version of that could be a telenovela, but in a movie format. Yesenia is very beautiful, and her partner was young at that time Jorge Lavat( Don Julio in Eva Luna), who passed away recently, my condolences to his family and fans. So if you are his fan and haven't seen this movie before, I'll recommend you to watch it.
