História

Libertad Lamarque de Bouza foi uma atriz argentina radicada mexicana. Filha de um uruguaio de origem francesa e de uma imigrante espanhola, desde os primeiros anos de vida Libertad mostrou grande talento para a atuação e principalmente para cantar, razão pela qual sua mãe apoiou-a em tudo o que pode, aos sete anos estreou-se numa peça de teatro, e aos doze anos já era uma profissional. Em 1922, a família Lamarque foi viver em Buenos Aires onde Libertad poderia alcançar um futuro artístico. Quando Libertad completou dezoito anos, em 1926, gravou o seu primeiro álbum de tangos, que foi um admirável sucesso. Os êxitos sucederam-se, mas Libertad sentia necessidade de amar e ser amada em casa com Emílio Romero, com quem teve uma filha em 1928 de nome Mirtha. Passados anos as decepções começam a surgir e Libertad pede o divórcio, mas naquele tempo era muito difícil. Após este fato, Libertad começa a sofrer de depressões e com o desespero tenta suicidar-se atirando-se de uma janela de um hotel em Santiago do Chile, mas felizmente o toldo do hotel a salva. Logo o seu ex-marido, rapta sua filha e leva-a para o Uruguai. Libertad acompanhada de polícia e amigos parte para Montevideu, com o propósito de recuperar a sua filha. Mas a sua carreira continuou e sempre com êxitos, embora uma grande discussão com a colega de teatro Eva Duarte (mais tarde conhecida mundialmente como Eva Perón), levou-a a sair da Argentina e ir para o México acompanhada pelo seu segundo marido. Em 1945 no México todos conheciam Lamarque como uma excelente atriz dramática, uma ótima cantora de tangos, boleros e canções folclóricas da América Latina, e por estes motivos começaram a chamar-lhe a “Noiva da América”. Quando volta a Buenos Aires, depois da queda de Peron, entrou na peça “La Dolly Levy” de Hello Dolly, o povo ansioso por aquela magnífica voz, aclamou-a com admiração, respeito e amor. Em toda a América do Sul Libertad junta multidões. Os anos passaram e em 1996 decidiu radicar-se em Miami, Flórida, acompanhada de sua ajudante Irene Lopez, e sua filha Mirtha, seu genro, cinco netos e dez bisnetos ficaram em Buenos Aires. Com 92 anos Libertad continuava ativa, alegre, cordial e muito feliz porque participava da telenovela Carita de ángel. Numa manhã, sentiu-se mal e teve de ser internada de urgência no Hospital do Distrito Federal mexicano, onde esteve hospitalizada dez dias, e no dia 12 de Dezembro de 2000 (dia da Virgem de Guadalupe), a Dama do Tango, a Noiva da América veio a falecer. Seu corpo foi cremado e as suas cinzas deitadas na costa de Miami.

¡Tango! follows a formula established by Carlos Gardel with films such as Luces de Buenos Aires (The Lights of Buenos Aires, 1931) in which a melodramatic story is interspersed with tango songs. However, the film had less dialog and more music, making it more like a musical revue. This format would be copied by many subsequent films. The plot is derived from tango songs. Many of these songs tell of the seduction of an innocent slum girl by a rich man who promises her a glamorous life, but who abandons her when her looks fade. The stylized and sentimental plot of ¡Tango! revolves around a young man who is abandoned by his girlfriend for an older rich man and is heartbroken. The film follows his misfortunes.
