Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In Love and Engaged was the tell-all English title of the Mexican Somos Novios. But did it really tell all? In point of fact, this sprightly little songfest is a gentle lampoon of the music business. The dramatic personae include a publicity agent (Armando Manzanero), his singer friend (Palito Ortega) and a pretty salesgirl (Angelica Maria). Through a combination of talent and chutzpa, the three leads climb to the highest rungs of musical popularity.
