To the Sound of the Marimba (Spanish: Al son de la marimba) is a 1941 Mexican musical comedy film directed by Juan Bustillo Oro and stars Sara García, Fernando Soler and Marina Tamayo.[1] It was released during the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. It was shot at the Clasa Studios in Mexico City. The film's sets were designed by the art director Carlos Toussaint.
The plot centers around a once aristocratic but now impoverished family that hopes for their daughter (played by Marina Tamayo) to marry a rich rancher (played by Emilio Tuero), restoring their wealth. The rancher and one of his servants investigate whether the young woman truly loves him or just wants his money. The movie is noted for containing words and phrases associated with the state of Chiapas.
