Description: FOR SALE AN ORIGINAL 27" X 37" MEXICAN ONE SHEET POSTER FOR THE 1973 MOVIE POBRE PERO HONRADA! STARRING: MARIA ELENA VELASCO "LA INDIA MARIA" PLOT: 'Pobre, pero Honrada!'(1973) is a dated, yet fun and entertaining film starring comedienne Maria Elena Velasco, alias 'La India Maria'. I still enjoyed the film despite the esoteric humor and the fact that I can't speak Spanish fluently. In her films, she usually portrays a humble, noble, sympathetic woman who tries to co-exist with pretentious people, big-wigs, con-artists, foreigners, etc. My family, mostly Mexican-Americans, used to watch her films as we lived in the U.S. for many decades. La India Maria's films almost always bring a smile to my face. In 'Pobre, pero Honrada', Maria sells spring water with enigmatic healing qualities, but some people, including two con-artists, want to tarnish her reputation because they think her claim that the spring water is "magical" is illegitimate and bogus. Also, some people want to see if the water is really "magical" so they can take it away from Maria and capitalize on it. As if things weren't stressful enough, Maria passes out while she cleans inside a church and she has to have an minor operation involving her appendix, or something. Around the same time, a rich man's daughter asks her father to help get rid of her illegitimate child: the tycoon and a surgeon try to make La India Maria believe that the baby is hers. Maria, being a very humble, chaste, simple-minded woman , assumes that she's a modern-day(for the 1970's)"Virgin Mary". When the authorities try to take Maria's baby away and some people continue to exploit her, she flees from her hometown with the baby and her mule in tow. Will Maria's luck turn around?
