The Prodigal Woman (Spanish: La pródiga) is an Argentine drama film directed by Mario Soffici and co-directed by Leo Fleider and Ralph Pappier.
[1] The film was shot in 1945, in Córdoba and the San Miguel studios in Buenos Aires.
It was to be released toward the end of 1945, but in the meantime Duarte married the presidential candidate Juan Perón.
Her new position in Argentina's political life, and her considerable influence on her husband, made the film inappropriate for release, and it was postponed indefinitely.
After living a licentious life, she makes a decision to redirect her fortune towards others, earning her the nickname "the prodigal."
