The Little House (Spanish: La casa chica) is a 1950 Mexican drama film directed by Roberto Gavaldón and starring Dolores del Río, Roberto Cañedo and Miroslava. It was shot at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jorge Fernández.
Fernando Mendoza, an eminent doctor, falls in love with Amalia, a sweet woman that fully reciprocates. But Fernando is engaged to marry Lucila, a frivolous woman who uses a thousand wiles to keep him.
Over the years, the stormy relationship between Fernando and Amalia becomes more complicated. She finishes her medical studies and becomes a very prestigious scientist. Amalia agrees to become Fernando's lover and collaborates with him in his laboratory as his "assistant". They share an apartment, "the house of the other", where they enjoy their pure and sincere love.[1]
