Although this isn't a particularly good film, it provides a fascinating look into life in Cuba during the first few years after Castro's revolution. Although released in 1968, it is set in 1961-1962. While it was no doubt censored by the Cuban government, and you would have no idea from watching this film that what is being depicted is a police state, the film is in many ways surprisingly honest about several aspects of post-revolutionary life, i.e., the mass exodus from the country in 1961, the shortages, etc. So it's worth a look if you can catch it.
