Vidalita is a 1949 Argentine comedy film directed and co-written by Luis Saslavsky and produced by Emelco during the classical era of Argentina cinema.

This was considered transgressive for the time.i[1] Fernando Lamas stars as the captain of the fort, who falls in love with Legrand's character "to the point that he is willing to marry her without knowing if she is a man or a woman".

"[3] Writing for Página/12's LGBT periodical Soy in 2022, Adrián Melo stated: In a key scene, Vidalita-Legrand finds herself in the situation of sharing a room where Lamas bathes naked and in another she dances with him in front of a people who are shocked to see two passionate men together.

Only for this 1949 film directed by Luis Saslavsky, Legrand would deserve to enter the eternal sky with stars of the LGTBIQ world.

There is probably nothing in Argentine cinematography—neither before nor after—so deliciously erotic and transgressive in relation to sexual dissidence, nor so subversive in dealing with two founding topics of nationality and local hegemonic masculinity: being a gaucho and being a soldier.
