1944 Argentine film From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El fin de la noche (English: End of the Night) is a 1944 Argentine film. It is notable for being an anti-Nazi film made in neutral Argentina during World War II and set in occupied France.[2] Shot from August to November 1943 in Cordoba Province,[3] the release was put on hold for more than a year, pending authorization by the pro-Axis military government of that time.[4] The film is also remembered in Argentina for Libertad Lamarque's performance of the tango Uno, composed by Mariano Mores and Enrique Santos Discépolo.[5]
