Attractive and charming comedy/drama with a successful singer : Antonio Molina . Sympathetic and fun dramedy with the youthful idol who attempts to bring to life their dreams , to cure his handicapped wife making their desires truth of being artist to raise money and heal her . Here Antonio is a poor and unfortunate miner who along with his colleagues of the ¨La Confianza Carbonifera Minas S.A.¨ participates at a contest of worker chorus to get money for his unabled wife and his three children .

Agreeable , enjoyable musical comedy/drama with a good cast , starred by prodigious singer Antonio Molina as a hard-working miner , being assisted by an excellent plethora of familiar secondaries . Of course , Antolio Molina steals the spectacle as the splendid singer who sings along the miners some popular songs as Blanca Paloma or Soy minero . The scenarios and studios in which develop the deeds are well designed . Musical score responds appropriately to the ambient , originating a careful atmosphere and including several catching and popular songs by Antonio Molina . Luminous and glimmer cinematography in black and white by Cecilio Paniagua , though mostly shot in Chamartín studios .

Here Antonio Molina gives a sensitive and natural acting as a miner and singer . Antonio Molina (9 March 1928 - 18 March 1992) was a Spanish Flamenco dancer and popular singer and actor in films and on theatrical stage. Since a little boy he worked at all kinds of jobs . While his military service he participated in broadcasting contests , his big hit caused he abandons his former employments and he becomes a professional singer at the early 50s . He turns a successful career as a notorious singer and his film debut is ¨El pescador de coplas¨ 1953 , following the semi-autobiographic ¨Esta voz es una mina¨ 1956 and subsequently creating his own spectacle company . Born in Málaga, from the age of 10 he showed great aptitude for flamenco singing, and became popular by participating in various radio shows. He had a high, brilliant voice, which he perhaps abused until he lost it prematurely. He was very popular starring in many theater shows. His film career began in 1953, and he is remembered for films such as "El pescador de coplas" (1953), "Esa voz es una mina" (1955), and "La hija de Juan Simón" (1956). He maintained his popularity for many years by touring with his own musical show. After a few years of retirement, he attempted an unsuccessful come-back in 1986. Molina was the husband of Angela Tejedor and they had 8 children, among them actors and actresses (Ángela Molina, Miguel Molina, Paula Molina, Noel Molina and Mónica Molina). He died in Madrid in 1992. Antonio starred a few but successful films , such as : Puente de coplas (1961) by Santos Alcocer , Café de Chinitas (1958) by Gonzalo Delgras , The Christ of the Lanterns (1958) by Gonzalo Delgras , La Novia de Juan Lucero (1958) by Santos Alcocer , Juan Simón's Daughter (1957) by Gonzalo Delgras , Malagueña (1956) by Ricardo Nuñez , Esa voz es una mina (1955) , The Fisher of Songs (1954) , El macetero (1951) .

Support cast is frankly awesome , such as : Nani Fernández , Rafael Durán , Ángel Álvarez , Valeriano Andres , José Luis López Vázquez as a priest with much hair , Casimiro Hurtado , José Sepúlveda , Francisco Bernal ,Félix Fernández , the presenter Bobby Deglané and José Franco who steals the show as a likeable and good entrepreneur who helps Antonio to get fame and fortune . The motion picture was well directed by Luis Lucia . He was an advocate at law for the powerful production company Cifesa . His film debut was ¨13-13¨ and subsequently ¨Hombre De Negocios¨, two average ¨comedies . Later on , he directed two dated historical dramas : ¨Princesa De Ursinos¨ and ¨Jeromin¨ . And he made various Folkloric films for Juanita Reina : ¨Lóla La Piconera¨ , ¨Gloria Mairena¨ , Carmen Sevilla : ¨Hermana De San Sulpicio¨ , Lola Flores : ¨Morena Clara¨ , Antonio Molina : ¨Esta Voz Es Una Mina¨ , among others .
