Cristina Guzmán is a 1943 Spanish drama film directed by Gonzalo Delgrás and starring Marta Santaolalla, Ismael Merlo and Luis García Ortega.[1] It was made by CIFESA, Spain's dominant film studio of the era. The film is an adaptation of the 1936 novel Cristina Guzmán by Carmen de Icaza which was later remade in 1968.
Cristina Guzmán (Marta Santaolalla), is a young widow with a young son in her care, who dedicates herself to giving language classes to support herself. One day she receives a visit from an aristocrat with a surprising proposal that will change her life: she must pretend to be Fifi, the wife of an American millionaire to try to get him to overcome the emotional trauma caused by the abandonment of his real wife.
