background
La mujer del puerto is based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant . The film was produced by Eurindia Films and distributed in the United States by Cinexport Distributing in 1936, but only in Spanish. Columbia Pictures took over international distribution in 1934. Lut Alba called the film the first Mexican film that could be considered excellent. Carlos Monsiváis saw it as the first truly Mexican film with a special intensity. In La mujer del puert, the critic and filmmaker Tomás Pérez Turrent made the influence of German expressionist films , as well as that of Jacques Feyder and Georges Lacombe .
Of The Woman of the Port there are two remakes . In the 1949 version , Rosario and Alberto don't actually commit incest . The 1991 version , directed by Arturo Ripstein , deals more freely with the original, which is now told from different angles.
