Production of El gaucho y el diablo commenced in October 1950.[5]

Reception

La Razón said of the film: "A failed attempt...the lack of laboratories for developing the film, a technical aspect that had to be completed abroad, had a decisive influence. This resulted in a series of defects in the editing and an appreciable lack of unity in the layout."[6]
