Wikipedia article
'La rubia del camino' ('The Blonde on the Road') is a 1938 Argentine romantic comedy written and directed by Manuel Romero. Actress Paulina Singerman made her debut in the film.
Synopsis
A young millionairess and flirt (Paulina Singerman) is conquered by a truck driver (Fernando Borel) who gives her a ride when she is on the run from her commitment to an Italian count (Enrique Serrano). The film contrasts the spoiled protagonist who uses the foreign name "Betty" and has never tried 'mate', the drink of all Argentines, to the hard working, long-suffering poor.
The romance almost founders when the truck driver resists joining the cosmopolitan life of the Buenos Aires elite, but is saved when Betty agrees to join him in his more "authentic" world.
