Viewing Notes
Restored from the only existing 16mm film print in existence. All the 35mm negatives, etc. are believed to be lost. Lots of film grain of course but it still looked outstanding and the back story was interesting. There are so many filmed versions of La Llorona, it’s nice to see the very first one made.
