Nobleza baturra (The Nobility of the Peasantry, also known as Aragonese Virtue)[2] is a 1935 Spanish musical drama film directed by Florián Rey, and starring Imperio Argentina, Miguel Ligero Rodríguez, and Juan de Orduña. It is based on the play of the same name by Joaquín Dicenta. The film was a phenomenal success, and was one of the most commercially successful films of the Second Republic. The film was produced by CIFESA at CEA Studios.[3] It was noted for its sentimental view of rural people, and its folklorish characters.[2]
In Aragon in the early twentieth century, María del Pilar, an honest girl, is affected when a former suitor, out of spite of being rejected, publicises throughout the village that she had engaged in extramarital sex. This rumour soon spreads throughout the region.
