The Way to Santiago is a 1940 thriller novel by the British writer Arthur Calder-Marshall. It revolves around the shooting of an American newspaperman in Mexico City, leading to the exposure of a Nazi-backed organisation to launch a coup against the Mexican government.
Orson Welles wrote a screenplay based on the novel, and planned to shoot it in Mexico with Dolores del Río in the female lead. However his studio RKO was unwilling to back the project.[1] [2]
