Wikipedia article
'Sucedi en Jalisco (Los Cristeros)' ("It Happened in Jalisco (The Cristeros)") is a 1947 Mexican film written and directed by Ral de Anda based on the novel 'Los Cristeros' by Jos Guadalupe de Anda. It stars Sara Garca and portrays the drama of a love triangle during the Cristero War.
Legacy
The filmmakers took a great risk in the making of the film as, despite the liberalism towards Catholicism in the post-Calles era, the Mexican government restricted coverage of the Cristero War and the conflict was largely covered up.
A remake was made in 1972 which Ral de Anda also directed. This version was based in part on the novel 'Sucedi en Jalisco' by Jess Goytortua. In light of the difference, Mexican cinema typically refers to the 1947 film by its alternative title 'Los Cristeros' and the 1972 film by the proper title of 'Sucedi en Jalisco'.
