Cradle Song (Spanish: Canción de cuna) is a 1953 Mexican film. It was directed by Fernando de Fuentes.[1]

Plot[edit]

The daughter of a prostitute is abandoned in a convent where a nun cares for her, as she asks to not be taken to an hospice.

Cast[edit]

Reception[edit]

InHistoria mínima. La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX, Carlos Monsiváis cites the film when describing what he considers a decline in the career of director Fernando de Fuentes: "The decline is incomprehensible: how is the director of Godfather Mendoza capable of committing monstrosities like Cradle Song (1953) and The Children of Maria Morales (1952)? Is it the exhaustion of a director or the crushing effect of an industry that allows neither rest nor the aesthetic ambitions of its creators?"[2]InHistoria del cine mexicano, Emilio García Riera quotes the film together with Sor Alegría (1952) as films that "were about compliant, happy, and heavily made-up nuns."[3]
