Mateo is a 1937 Argentine crime drama film of the Golden Age of Argentine cinema directed by Daniel Tinayre, which he adapted from the play by Armando Discépolo. Starring Luis Arata, Enrique Santos Discépolo, José Gola and Alita Román, it was the first successful film of Tinayre's.

Production

Domingo Di Núbila says that Armando Discépolo's play was his workhorse, which the public never tired of seeing. An unusual combination of circumstances favored its filming. Natalio Félix Botana founded the Baires Studios and backed Tinayre's project, and although the adaptation was entrusted to Armando Discépolo himself, his brother Enrique, Homero Manzi and director Tinayre were also involved.

Botana's financial capacity made it possible to hire a large cast, including Oscar Casanovas, an Olympic boxing champion who played the youngest son, and the Spanish actor Tony D'Algy as the daughter's boyfriend. The score was composed by Enrique Santos Discépolo with orchestration by José Vázquez Vigo. Ricardo Conord was responsible for the film's art direction.
