Sangre torera (1950)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Antonio studies law at college, but he feels unhappy because his true hobby is bullfighting, but his parents are against it. Antonio asks his godfather Don Luis, who owns a ranch, for help to convince his father, but everything is useless. Antonio argues with his parents, who threaten to take away his word and, of course, his money, but he, determined, leaves and takes with him Lucinda, a young orphan and without money with whom he is in love. On the first occasion he throws himself into a spontaneous bullring where he triumphs, but when he is making the last pass, he suffers a catch. At first he doesn't seem serious. Manuel receives a visit from a businessman who offers him a great contract, he accepts, but when he is about to leave the hospital Manuel feels that he cannot move his legs.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
