I heard only modern versions and they are very fast. The
last day I have seen the movie with Nathalie Wood etc. and
the mambo was played much like a Cuban Mambo -slower- and it
sounded really great. What's your opinion?.

This Mambo was for the virtuostic display of the orchestra, not as a vehicle for the dancers.
I have to admit losing the downbeat a few times. I would have liked it a bit slower
As usual, the Mambo was the last thing recorded on a very long and intense session.
