The film is cited as a classic example of the Mexican genre of Cabaretera (Dance Hall film) about "a sympathetic character, a good woman forced into a bad life by circumstances beyond her control."[2] It was remade as a 1996 film of the same title starring María Rojo.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Jesús Bracho.
