Casa de Mujeres ("House of Women") is a 1966 Mexican drama film directed by Julián Soler and starring Dolores del Río.[1] In some countries the film was named El Hijo de Todas ("The Son of All").
At a Christmas party the women of a luxurious brothel all decide to become "mothers" to a baby boy born in a nearby home whose mother dies giving birth, and to reform.
The child grows up, and as a man informs them of his upcoming marriage. His "mothers" face the fear of being rejected and segregated by their own son by their previous lives as prostitutes.
Casa de Mujeres was the last film in which the legendary actress Dolores del Río starred in her native country. She played the role of a madame of a brothel. Del Río's performance in this movie shocked the public because of how she stood out among all the young actresses. The film was not a critical success, but it was very financially successful. One critic wondered: Has Mexican cinema come a long way from SantatoCasa de Mujeres?"[2]
