El Gaucho y el diablo (The Gaucho and the Devil) is a 1952 Argentine Western drama film directed by Ernesto Remani, based on a script by José María Fernández Unsain,[2] who adapted it from the 1891 short story "The Bottle Imp", by Robert Louis Stevenson.[3] The film stars Juan José Míguez, Elisa Galvé, Francisco Martínez Allende, and Elina Colomer.[4]
A rancher makes a pact with the devil to find happiness and love.
Production of El gaucho y el diablo commenced in October 1950.[5]
La Razón said of the film: "A failed attempt...the lack of laboratories for developing the film, a technical aspect that had to be completed abroad, had a decisive influence. This resulted in a series of defects in the editing and an appreciable lack of unity in the layout."[6]
