Arcady Boytler

Arcady Arcadievic Boytler Rososky (August 31, 1895 – November 24, 1965) was a producer, screenwriter, and director, most renowned for his films during of the golden age of Mexican cinema.

Boytler was born in Moscow, Russia. During the 1920s, he started filming silent comedies. A collaborator of Sergei Eisenstein, he was called "the Russian Rooster" when he came to Mexico to film "La mujer del puerto" (1933). In 1937 he filmed "Así es mi tierra", which followed the model of Fernando de Fuentes's classic "Allá en el Rancho Grande". However, the film subverted the Mexican Revolutionary genre by making the general into the villain.

He died in the Mexican Federal District of heart disease.
