It was part of a series of patriotic historical films produced by CIFESA, Spain's biggest film company of the era. Other examples include Madness for Love (1948) and Agustina of Aragon.[1] The film's sets were designed by the German-born art director Sigfrido Burmann. Shooting began in June 1950, with filming at a Madrid studio and on location in Cadiz.
On release the film was a moderate hit but because of its large budget it had not returned all of its cost several years later.[2]
During the Siege of Cádiz a female Spanish innkeeper falls in love with an officer of Napoleon's invading army.
