Production

In January 1965, María Félix and Eulalio González "Piporro" were reported to be Mexico's top box-office stars of 1964, and González later said that Félix herself wanted to work with him in a comedy film and therefore the film came to be. Around late February and early March 1965, it was officially announced that María Félix and Eulalio González would star opposite each other in a film.

On 4 May, the press announced that the National Association of Actors gave González the necessary permission so that he could work with Félix, and that the film was in the stages of pre-production and financial approval. On 17 May, the press announced that the film's credit was approved by the Banco Cinematográfico, and principal photography began the same day.

The film's script was exclusively written by González so his "Piporro" character could alternate with María Félix. The film's background is the Mexican Revolution, an armed conflict between the government and the peasantry during the early 20th century.
