Synopsis

María Consuelo, a young novice nun, admires the voice of café singer Juan de Dios and builds a romantic fantasy around him, eventually forcing her to leave her convent to be with him. Juan, who aspires to a career in opera, responds to María with affection and would like to adopt and protect her, but falls in love with her and they become engaged. However, Lola, who was Juan's former partner and is in love with him, encourages María's brother Enrique to separate the couple, and María eventually returns to her convent. Although Juan goes on to a successful career in opera in Madrid, he becomes profoundly depressed by the loss of María. When her mother superior learns about María's situation, she frees her from the obligation of taking her final vows. María finds Juan and they promise never to be apart again.

Notes

Sevilla de mis amores is a Spanish-language version of the 1930 M-G-M film Call of the Flesh, starring Ramón Novarro and Dorothy Jordan and directed by Charles Brabin. The onscreen credits for this version were taken from a studio cutting continuity. Some contemporary sources include Christina Montt, José Peña "Pepet", Gabry Rivas, Marina Ortiz and Alfonso Azaf in the cast, but their participation in the released film has not been confirmed. There was also a French-language version of the film, entitled Le chanteur de Seville, also directed by Ramon Novarro, that starred Novarro and Suzy Vernon, but no record of any U.S. exhibition of that version has been found.
