Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf (Spanish: Nazareno Cruz y el lobo, las palomas y los gritos; original title translatable as "Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf: The Doves and the Screams") is a 1975 Argentine fantasy drama film coproduced and directed by Leonardo Favio and starring Juan José Camero, Marina Magali and Alfredo Alcón. It was written by Favio and Jorge Zuhair Jury, Favio's brother and frequent script collaborator. The story works as an adaptation of the classical myth of the Lobizón, and it has become a classic film. It is also widely known as the most successful of all time in its country. With 3.4 million viewers it holds the national record ahead of El secreto de sus ojos.
