'Soledad' is a 1947 Mexican drama film directed by Miguel Zacaras and starring Libertad Lamarque, Ren Cardona and Marga Lpez.
Plot
Soledad Somellera (Libertad Lamarque), an Argentine maid, secretly marries the son of her employers, Roberto Covarrubias (Ren Cardona). However, Roberto abandons her soon after to marry a wealthy woman, revealing to Soledad that their wedding was staged and thus not valid. Soledad runs away, pregnant with Roberto's child, although soon after, Roberto's mother locates her and convinces him to give up her daughter so that she can grow up without suffering hardships. Soledad becomes a famous singer, adopting the stage name of Cristina Palermo, while her daughter, Evangelina (Marga Lpez), grows into a spoiled brat who, when she has the opportunity to meet Palermo, treats her with contempt, ignoring that she is his mother.

'Soledad' was the second film made by Libertad Lamarque in Mexico, after Luis Buuel's 'Gran Casino' (1946). Several film critics, such as Isaac Len Fras, Stuart A. Day, and others, considered the film as a recovery for Lamarque after 'Gran Casino' did not have a favorable reception.
