Production
Los tres berretines was directed by Enrique Telémaco Susini and starring the local actors Luis Sandrini and Luisa Vehil.[6][7] The American cinematographer John Alton was not credited but may have played an important role in direction and cinematography.[8] Los tres berretines was based on a hit play of the same name, in which the circus performer and actor Luis Sandrini played Eusebio, a brother with a dream of becoming a famous tango composer. Lumiton expanded his role in the film version.[9] Los tres berretines was released on 19 May 1933 in the Ástor in Buenos Aires.[6] It was the second Argentine film with an optical soundtrack. The first was ¡Tango!, released the week before.[10]
Reception
The film, which cost 18,000 pesos to produce, earned over one million.[6] Sandrini's performance made him the first local cinema star.[2]
