- The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929 film)
"The Bridge of San Luis Rey" is a 1929 part-talkie film directed by Charles Brabin and starring Lili Damita and Don Alvarado. The film closely follows the bestselling 1927 Thornton Wilder novel of the same name and won the second Academy Award for Art Direction.
Background and production
The film and novel are very loosely based on the real life story of Micaela Villegas (1748—1819), a famous Peruvian entertainer known as "La Perichole", whose life was also the inspiration for the novella "Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement" by Prosper Mérimée, an "opéra bouffe", "La Périchole" by "Jacques Offenbach", Jean Renoir’s 1953 film "Le Carrosse d'or" (The Golden Coach). The film was remade in 1944 with Lynn Bari, and once more in 2004 and starring F. Murray Abraham, Kathy Bates and Pilar López de Ayala.
