Curiosidades

La Valentina is a 1938 Mexican ranchera musical drama film directed by Martín de Lucenay and starring Jorge Negrete, Esperanza Baur and Raúl de Anda. Set during the Mexican Revolution, its title and central character were inspired by the popular corrido "La Valentina", rather than by a biographical account of the woman associated with the song.
