Starring Hugo del Carril, Libertad Lamarque and Malisa Zini, it premièred in Buenos Aires on 5 November 1938 and was a popular success. Its plot is loosely based on the lyrics of a tango song of the same name. It is a tango film, an extremely popular genre during the Golden Age of Argentine Cinema. It was screened at the Venice Film Festival.
