No renewal found Free in the US since 1 January 1979, on the registry's reading: registration LP176 of 1950 by Kaladore Corp was not renewed in the volumes searched. Record.
Emilio Fernández revisits his own revolutionary romance, setting a general’s political convictions against a woman’s refusal to obey him.
The Torch brings a director back to his own material, with much of the earlier film’s creative company still beside him. Emilio Fernández had made Enamorada in 1946 with Pedro Armendáriz in the male lead.5 Armendáriz returned for The Torch alongside cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa and co-writer Íñigo de Martino.5 In Mexico City, the film was advertised as the English version of Enamorada.1 That wording presented a familiar story finding another language.
Paulette Goddard is the conspicuous new presence opposite Armendáriz.1 She also served as associate producer.6 On screen, her resistance unsettles a revolutionary general accustomed to obedience. The courtship takes place under military occupation, where an order can interrupt the arrangements of private life. The general can command men. Persuading a woman to love him requires powers that his rank does not automatically confer.
The political argument is not merely an excuse to put an armed man in the heroine’s path. At 15:05 in the atlas copy, the bandoliered speaker declares, “Revolutions are not made so that some may grow rich.” His attack on those who avoid taking sides gives the occupation a stated moral purpose: sacrifice should not become someone else’s opportunity for profit. He speaks of allegiance as an obligation, condemning those who benefit from a struggle they will not join. In the courtship, however, allegiance is precisely what cannot be demanded on those terms.
Goddard’s character answers that certainty with an insistence on her own freedom of movement. At 24:34, a warning against going into the streets alone receives the reply, “I’m a woman, but I can take care of myself.” The men who comment on her legs as she walks make the street a place of scrutiny as well as danger. Her independence does not depend on their granting her privacy or respect.
The limits of an order emerge differently at 38:25, when the man in the bandolier explains that he had instructed someone’s release. “But they misunderstood my orders,” he says. Even within the machinery of command, intention and result can come apart. By 42:26, the quarrel in the street has acquired an almost absurd territorial precision: “I forbid you to walk on my street.” The possessive is the point. His claim now concerns a patch of pavement and the woman who wishes to cross it. She accuses him of acting like a dictator.
The New York Times reviewed the film on August 21, 1950.7 Its reviewer credited Armendáriz with playing the general with authority.7 The observation identifies something the film needs even when it makes him ridiculous. If the general were only a blustering suitor, his orders would have little weight. Because his power is credible, the heroine’s resistance can register as more than a device for prolonging courtship.
The film’s Mexico City opening on November 14, 1951 used the title Del odio nace el amor.1 It translates as “Love is born from hate.”4 That title directs attention towards the antagonism of the courtship. The Torch leaves more room for the political cause that the general invokes.
The atlas uses the Internet Archive copy identified as TheTorch_627, comprising 269 shots over 75 minutes. Those measurements describe this copy, rather than the film’s listed theatrical running time of 84 minutes.1 The copy permits close attention to the changing uses of an order or a refusal, but access alone does not establish its provenance or completeness.
The record: Registration LP176 by Kaladore Corp is dated 16 June 1950. The registry found no renewal in the renewal volumes for 1977 to 1979, nor in the Copyright Office's records from 1978 on; on that reading the term ended on 31 December 1978 and the film has been free in the US since 1 January 1979. The record does not settle the film’s status outside the US.
