The Torch (Spanish: Del odio nace el amor, meaning "love is born from hate") is a 1950 Mexican/American film directed by Emilio Fernández.

When the rebel leader José Juan Reyes and his troops take Cholula, the wedding seems to be in danger.

Dr. Stanley asks to travel to Mexico City to buy medicine and bring back María Dolores' wedding dress.

He learns that Reyes takes special care of the girl Adelita, whose parents died fighting on the rebel side.

When Reyes reproaches her one day that only her being born into a rich family is keeping her from following him and the revolution, she slaps him in the face.

Although he couldn't bring any medicine with him, he advises treating the sick with quinine and compresses to reduce fever.

Reyes and Father Sierra learn that government troops are approaching the city and are supposed to destroy the rebels.

Fernández, Armendáriz and cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa traveled to Cholula in southern Mexico in mid-1949 and filmed the scenes with Goddard, who assumed Félix's role.

As of Fernández's direction, the review reads that he "has not been able to quicken the pace of his drama" in comparison to the original, and that "the accent is on romance in "The Torch" and on that level it is quite boring.

More action would have helped because the film does pick up when the horses are galloping and the sound of cannon shakes the screen.

"[3] The critic of TV Guide saw "an average romance which has a touch of comedy" and that "Sharp photography helps the weak script.
