LA VIDA BOHEMIA

LA VIDA BOHEMIA, a Spanish-language version of the same story Puccini used for his opera, has an interesting pedigree. Produced by Spanish-California heir Jaime del Amo and photographed by the great John Alton, it was at shot in Los Angeles by director Josef Berne, with a rumored helping hand by Edgar Ulmer.

This is a UCLA Film & Television Archive presentation of the PST: LA/LA program RECUERDOS DE UN CINE ESPAÑOL—LATIN AMERICAN CINEMA IN LOS ANGELES, a look back at the movies that played off Broadway’s main stem in downtown Los Angeles in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s.
