The 89-minute film was shot in black and white for Argentina Sono Film, directed by Enrique Santos Discépolo.[1] It was the first film for which he was sole director.[2] It starred Pepe Arias, María Esther Buschiazzo and Chela Cordero. Mario Maurano wrote the music.[1]
The writers, Manuel A. Meaños, Enrique Santos and Marcelo Menasche Discépolo, based the film on a strange story that circulated in Buenos Aires around 1940. It told of an apparition in the form of a beautiful and enigmatic girl (Buschiazzo) who danced one night with the cashier (Arias) of a large commercial firm. She apparently had returned from the beyond, and would again fade into the shadows.[2]
The film has been called one of the most original and compelling films of the trajectory of the great comedian, Pepe Arias.[2]
