Production
Problems arose during the production of the film at the Pampa Film studio which resulted in three main directors working on the film: Ernesto Arancibia, Enrique Cahen Salaberry and Arturo Garacía Buhry.[4] The exteriors were filmed more than a year earlier by Arancibia and Cahen Salaberry, and the film was finished by Garcia Buhr, working with director Antonio Ber Ciani.[5] It was adapted from the 1906 novel by Uruguyan author Otto Miguel Cione for the screen by Hugo Mac Dougall. Cinematographer Pablo Tabernero was brought in to shoot the picture and it was edited by Kurt Land and Gerardo Rinaldi. Isidro Maiztegui composed the score to Lauracha, and art direction was by Saulo Benavente.[1]
Release and reception
The film premiered on 11 October 1946.[1] Noticias Gráficas noted the performances of Amelia Bence and Arturo García Buhr, while El Heraldo del Cinematografista opined that the film was an improvement on the book, while retaining a sense of style and the antiquated climate of the early 20th century period.[6]
