I'm kinda with you, but I'm sure the director (like most 60s directors ) wanted some glam LA DOLCE VITA style decadence and also wanted to make a GREAT looking film; but still point fingers at the native-spoiling decadent capitalist SWINE of the West. Unfortunately, dismantling all that hedonist stuff was one of the worst things they could've done economy-wise to Cuba--hopefully they stored it all when Castro kicks off its gonna be a GRANDE party.
