IMDb profile

La perla ("The pearl") is a 1945 Mexican film. The story is based on the novel The Pearl, by John Steinbeck, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the movie.

In 1945, Emilio Fernndez, who was in love with Olivia de Havilland (Gone with the Wind) thought she was the ideal actress to play the starring role of this movie. He planned to produce the film for Óscar Dancigers, the Franco-Russian head of Águila Films who had arrived in Mexico three years earlier escaping the horrors of war in Europe. Danciers prepared the production of the film with a script written by Fernndez and Steinbeck, the author or the novel of the same name (The Pearl) in both Spanish and English versions.

After the success of this costly film, Dancigers became one of the most important producers of the Cinema of Mexico and Fernndez obtained international recognition. de Havilland never knew of the love of Fernndez but he was able to get the government of Mexico City to change the name of the street he grew up on to Dulce Olivia ("Sweet Olivia").
