A 1961 Mexican noir where the devil deals cards and souls are the stakes.
Entry in a four part series based on the novel "El fisto del diablo" by Manuel Payno.
Acting
Roberto Cañedo's Lucero oozes sinister charm.
Production
Incredible shadow-drenched sets on a shoestring budget.

Director
Fernando Fernández
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Mexico's 1960s 'fantástico' wave blending Catholic guilt with pulp horror, largely forgotten outside archival circles.
Fernández shot three of the four Payno adaptations back-to-back; this was the only one to survive complete in original negative.
