Production & Film Restoration
Director Pedro Sienna selected the cast from people that he found on the street.[2] The film was considered lost until 1959, when it was found in deplorable condition and with some title cards incomplete, but thanks to Pedro Sienna's own supervision [3], the film was restored in 1962 by Cineteca de la Universidad de Chile, with music by Sergio Ortega[2] (with the Chilean government help).

gollark: Wider support for what?
gollark: My computers spend most of their boot time in UEFI, annoyingly enough.
gollark: Why not run your critical services under Linux with its generally faster boot?
