    John Gavin was best known for appearing in Ross Hunter movies. He had a Mexican mother and said he made this film "so I could make something I was proud of." He was first asked to make the film by Fuentes in 1962. Gavin:

    In Mexico, Pedro Paramo is as important as Don Quixote is in Spain. This may sound grandiose but it can be compared with Dante's Divine Inferno or Goethe's Faust. It is the journey of a young man in search of his father but, as an allegory, it is man in search of himself... It's the biggest Mexican film ever made.

    Release

    The film was released in the US in 1967.
