'''''La perla''''' ("The pearl") is a [[1945]] production of the [[Cinema of Mexico]]. The story is based on the novel ''[[The Pearl (novel)|The Pearl]] of [[John Steinbeck]] who also co-wrote the screen-play for the movie.
In 1945, Emilio Fernández, who was in love with [[Olivia de Havilland]] (''[[Gone With the Wind]]'') thought she was the ideal actress to play the starring role of this movie. He planned to produce the film for [[Óscar Dancigers]], the [[France|Franco]]-[[Russia|Russian]] head of [[Águila Films]] who had arrived in Mexico three years earlier escaping the horrors of war in Europe. Danciers prepared the production of the film with a script written by Fernández and Steinbeck, the author or the novel of the same name (''[[The Pearl]]'') in both [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]] and [[English (language)|English]] versions.
After the success of this costly film, Dancigers, became one of the most important producers of the [[Cinema of Mexico]] and Fernández obtained international recognition. de Havilland never knew of the love of Fernández but he was able to get the government of [[Mexico City]] to change the name of the street he grew up on to ''Dulce Olivia'' ("Sweet Olivia").
