The original film rolls arrived at the Filmoteca collection thanks to the fact that it was found when the CLASA production and distribution company decided to empty its cellars at the Churubusco Studios and transfer the material to the film collections of the UNAM.

From this unique copy of the original negative, whose rights belong to Fundación Televisa, and thanks to the preservation and conservation works of the Rescue and Restoration Workshop technicians of this institution and with the support of The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project at L'Immagine Ritrovata, Televisa Foundation and the Cineteca Nacional, the film was stabilized and digitized to keep it in optimum condition.
