Esa noche tuvo la culpa (1939)

Overview

One of the oldest comedies in Peruvian cinema, it tells the story of Esther, a young woman with a troubled life who tries her luck in show business, though things don't go as planned. Directed by Ricardo Villarán and produced by Amauta Films, the film was well-received by critics and audiences at the time, as it was a lighthearted story that allowed actress Carmen Pradillo to showcase her talent as a professional singer.
