I've seen the Manuel Conde version in the early 80s at the Southeast Asian film fest. I can't be sure now, but I think this is the film where the leading actress left showbiz later and became a nun?
Did Aida Cariño become a nun?
It could be another Asian actress, but the name Aida Cariño rings a bell to me.
JM:
I'm not sure if its Aida Carino. I forgot the name of the actress but I'm very sure there is a Filipino actress who became a nun after leaving showbiz. (Hindi ba si Marifi?, the child actress who portrayed the young Maruja?, not sure...).
How can I purchase a copy of this movie ?
