But soon he realizes that there’s more to her than physical beauty and falls in love with her. Their love affair turns sour when David’s passion for Consuela turns into an obsession. He becomes consumed with jealousy and fear of losing her, makes violent scenes until, finally, he manages to drive her away.

Dennis Hopper is the man. We must forgive him for making the odd bad movie because the guy is a legend. I even have him on my GPS as a voice I got form a site called Navtones.com or Nav-tones, something like that anyway.
Dennis Hopper rocks but I did not like this movie to much!
