Sombrero is a 1953 American musical romance film directed by Norman Foster and starring Ricardo Montalbán, Pier Angeli, Vittorio Gassman and Cyd Charisse. The film is based on the 1945 book Mexican Village[3] by Josefina Niggli, a collection of 11 short stories set in the north Mexican town of Hidalgo.[4] In his long review for the October 16, 1945 issue of The New York Times, Orville Prescott calls it "remarkable...one of the finest books about Mexico I have ever read.”[5]
