Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Mexico

Santa Claus is a 1959 Mexican fantasy film directed by René Cardona, co-written by Adolfo Torres Portillo, and starring José Elías Moreno, Cesáreo Quezadas "Pulgarcito", Queta Lavat, Leopoldo «Polo» Ortin and Nora Veryán. This film marked the film debut of the actress Graciela Lara.

Production

Santa Claus was produced by Guillermo Calderón and filmed at Churubusco-Azteca Studios in Mexico. Its running time is reported as 94 minutes. This appears to be the running time of recent home video editions of the English dub. At least one brief scene was cut from the English edition, and further footage was removed from the individual prints as they aged and suffered damage.
