Alejandro Wehner was an Argentine film director. His work included Diez segundos (1949), Rio turbio (1951) and Fierro a fondo (1952).[1]
His first film, Diez segundos (Ten Seconds), was based on Horacio Estol's 1946 book on the Argentine boxer Luis Ángel Firpo.The book was weak and Wehner was inexperienced, resulting in a disappointing film.[2] Rio Turbio is a melodrama about miners in the remote town of Rio Turbio, communicating a patriotic message about the New Argentina.[3]
