Aphrodite

Overview

According to historian Fernando Martín Peña, this film was produced by Julio Tello's Argentine Cinematographic Union distributor and premiered at the San Martín Theater as if it were French "presumably for reasons of respectability." After the campaign against him by the Catholic newspaper El Pueblo, San Martín took it down from the billboard. On November 4 it was announced that the film would be shown again in a downtown theater and finally on November 7 the interim mayor Adrián Fernández Castro resolved the ban for "amoral".
