Other important participations were in Night of Perdition (1951) with Rosa Carmina , Camelia (1954) with María Félix and Jorge Mistral , The illusion travels by tram (1954), directed by Luis Buñuel and with the sensual Lilia Prado as a couple, El resurrected monster (1955) with the beautiful Miroslava, which at the time was not very successful but which today has become a cult work for specialized audiences, The Brave One (1956), the only Hollywood film in which it participates, Wild Heart (1956), with Martha Roth , Each his life (1960) and The empty star (1960), where he plays a couturier who remains the only friend of the ambitious "Olga Lang" ( María Félix ).
In the 1960s Navarro moved away from the cinema to dedicate himself to acting on television in soap operas such as La Actress (1962), Madres egoístas (1963), Siempre tuya (1964) and Anita de Montemar (1967), among others. Navarro died on February 12, 1969 in Mexico City in unknown circumstances, although in his book Theater and Cinema , Ricardo Garibay hints that he died of his addictions (he even names him one of the probable first victims of AIDS ), but doing this revelation, only in doubt and without any foundation, perhaps he said it because of the gay conditionabout the actor, something about which little is known (the writer David Ramón in his biography of the diva Dolores del Río comments) perhaps because of the taboo of the subject at the time he lived.
