La Bien Pagada (The Well-Paid Woman)

This was an ok Mexican soap opera about an adultress who learns a lesson. A wealthy man expects his beautiful wife of cheating and no surprise he catches her in the act. A few years later he finds out she has become a dancer. He becomes one of her visitors. She feels guilty. She was no saint but I felt like he was manipulative and mean towards her, let her move on with her life. He falls in love with her saintly sister but I didn't feel he was worthy of her. Alberto Gout would later make the classic Aventurera, a much better movie. Tf anything this is worth a watch to see the promise he had before he made a masterpiece of Mexican cinema.
