Within this context the film shows an epic character.It is based on a play by Alarcon.It was adapted for the screen by A.Pageo and the script were written by L.F.Ardavin.A high quality photograph by Ballesteros and Valentin Javier along with a luxurious setting by Burmann y Asencio.Benito Perojo offers a good version. Perhaps one of the most outstanding scene in the film is that of the erection of the Mayor of the town, topic that inspired quite a few of Spanish writers. The main character was covered by the Argentinian actress Mecha Ortiz who plays her part showing her well known strength, gentleness and unique personality as the Alcaldesa Teresa Marquesa De Pinorrey. E.A.Diosado as a Spanish soldier in a first order performance. Other characters and playing supporting parts Julio Peña, Susana Canales, Julia Caba Alba y Marisa De Leza. It was released in El Palacio De la Musica in Madrid on November 10th 1950. This film was not shown in Argentina because of the similarity of the main character with that of Eva Peron.
