Interesting facts

Cruz Diablo is a 1934 Mexican film directed by Fernando de Fuentes. The New York Times called it "one of the best films that ever crossed the Rio Grande".

Production

Cruz Diablo was filmed in the studios of the Compañía Nacional Productora, then located on Paseo de la Reforma, during six weeks starting on September 13, 1934, at a cost of 200,000 pesos. The production was in charge of Paul H. Bush and the Mex-Art company. The script was by director De Fuentes based on a plot by Uruguayan writer Vicente Orona. Editing was by Fernando de Fuentes, Fernando C.

As part of the set design work, two production assistants contracted smallpox while handling antique clothing and period furniture, so the Ministry of Health declared the film studio quarantined.

The film led to the founding of the production company Mex-Art (Impulsora Cinematográfica), owned by businessmen Pablo Bush and Alfonso Sánchez Tello.
