★★★★★ · 50`s Puerto Rico · G. A. Rivera · 2003-07-11

Of the two films available about Puerto Rico,this one I liked the most.A sharp contrast against the older film depicting the island`s economy as mostly agricultural.With the help of the U.S.,puertorricans are shedding their primitive,although honorable,lifestyle of country living,for a more modern way of living.Being born and raised in the island, I can always appreciate and admire how the island`s landmarks looked before I was born (1963).The views and the landscape is more clean and less cluttered.
