The Lady from Trévelez (film)

The Lady from Trévelez is a 1936 Spanish comedy film directed by Edgar Neville. It is based on the 1894 play of the same name by Spanish playwright Carlos Arniches. The film is a lighthearted farce centered around a wealthy woman, Doña Remedios, from the town of Trévelez in the Alpujarra region of Granada, and the chaos that ensues when she visits Madrid. The story revolves around mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and satirical observations on social class and customs. The film is known for its humorous dialogue, comedic performances, and depiction of Spanish society during the Second Republic. While not one of the most critically acclaimed or widely distributed Spanish films of its era, The Lady from Trévelez remains a notable example of early Spanish cinema and a reflection of the popular theatrical traditions of its time.
