The Children of Sanchez (1978)
While most actresses face the awkward age in their forties, when Hollywood doesn’t know how to cast them in romantic leads anymore, most men face it in their sixties. Some men don’t want to play grandfathers; others embrace the next phase of their careers. For Anthony Quinn, he continued to play the overbearing patriarch in 1978 just as he did in 1958. The only difference was that in the late seventies, he was in low-budget Mexican dramas instead of A-tier Hollywood flicks.
In The Children of Sanchez, he’s a tyrant at home with everyone from his daughter to his mother-in-law. He wants to be the provider and the head of the house, but he has to face old age, poverty, and a changing social culture. His daughter is headstrong and wants freedom; he believes her duty is to support him and then support her husband. Although I love Anthony Quinn and watched the entire movie to support him, I don’t really recommend it for his fans. In one scene, Tony is in bed with his girlfriend. She lets out a frustrated sigh and asks, “Are you done already?” I felt so sorry for him! It’s virile, sexy Anthony Quinn, and his bedroom skills are getting insulted? This isn’t the sort of scene the ladies who loved him in the 1950s want to see him in. But yes, everyone gets old, and we can hope that he was glad to still headline his movies.
