Curiosidades

The Torch, also known as Bandit General in the United Kingdom, is a 1950 Mexican/American film, written and directed by Emilio Fernández, and starring Paulette Goddard and Pedro Armendáriz. It is a remake of the film Enamorada (1946), also written and directed by Fernandez, and starring Armendáriz. This film marked the film debut of the actress Rosa María Vázquez.

Production

The film was shot from early September to mid-October 1949 in Estudios Churubusco in Mexico City.

Emilio Fernández had directed the 1946 film Enamorada, starring Pedro Armendáriz and María Félix. Paulette Goddard became interested in remaking the film and coproduced The Torch with herself in Félix's role. Fernández, Armendáriz and cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa traveled to Cholula in southern Mexico in mid-1949 to film scenes with Goddard. Scenes featuring Armendáriz and his troops were reused from the original film.
