Arcady Boytler

Arcady Sergeevich Boytler Rososky (August 31, 1895 – November 24, 1965) was a Russian-born Mexican film producer, director and screenwriter, most renowned for his films during the golden age of Mexican cinema.

A collaborator of Sergei Eisenstein, he was called "the Russian Rooster" when he came to Mexico to film La mujer del puerto (1933).

In 1937 he filmed ¡Así es mi tierra!, which followed the model of Fernando de Fuentes's classic Allá en el Rancho Grande.

However, the film subverted the Mexican Revolutionary genre by making the general into the villain.

Boytler died of heart disease in the Mexican Federal District on November 24, 1965, at the age of 70.
