'Enamorada' ("Enamoured") is a 1946 Mexican drama film directed by Emilio Fernndez and starring Mara Flix and Pedro Armendriz. It was shot at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and on location in Puebla. The sets were designed by the art director Manuel Fontanals

The film was remade in 1950 as 'The Torch' with Armendriz repeating his role alongside Paulette Goddard who was credited as an associate producer on the film.

Plot



The revolutionary Jos Juan Reyes (Pedro Armendriz) takes the town of Cholula, Puebla and demands contributions from its wealthiest citizens for the Mexican Revolution.
