- DirectorRoberto GavaldónStarsPedro ArmendárizAnita BlanchRebeca IturbideMarcos is an arrogant jai-alai player who seduces and discards women until he himself becomes the object of a cunning revenge.En La noche avanza no existen personajes buenos; solo antihéroes y autoasumidas víctimas que no dudan un segundo en convertirse en victimarios para vengarse de sus propios victimarios: mujeres celosas, mentirosas o posesivas, peligrosamente autodestrictivas; y hombres cuyo valor máximo es el oportunismo. Aquí no existe en nadie rasgo alguno de bondad, únicamente facetas de egoísmo. Teniendo en cuenta lo improbable de que esto ocurra, ya no solo en el cine mexicano de la época, sino en en el cine en general, La noche avanza posee una frescura espectacular.
Además, el frenesí se acelera conforme avanza la noche. Bastantes escenas de la segunda mitad de la película se podrían considerar incluso pretarantinescas. Lo mejor que he encontrado hasta ahora del llamado Mexican Noir. - DirectorJaime Humberto HermosilloStarsJosé AlonsoMaría RojoAna Ofelia MurguíaA woman (Murguía) lives waiting for her son (Alonso) who is a sailor. She hasn't seen him for years although he writes to her a lot. The woman shares his letters and her grief with a co-worker and friend (Rojo). This last woman begins to idealize her friend's son.
