El día que me quieras (1935) watch online

El día que me quieras is a 1935 musical film starring tango singer Carlos Gardel, Spanish actress Rosita Moreno, and tango singer Tito Lusiardo. The film was directed by Austrian-born John Reinhardt, produced by Robert R. Snody through Gardel's production company Éxito Productions, and written by tango lyricist Alfredo Le Pera.

Filmed in January 1935 at Paramount's Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, New York, the film was the third of Gardel's American productions and represented a significant improvement in quality over his previous films. Gardel considered it his best cinematic work, writing to his agent four days before his death that "I still think that it is my best work in films, and that we have topped everything with its songs." The film premiered on July 5, 1935, in Havana, Cuba, just eleven days after Gardel and Le Pera died in a plane crash in Medellín, Colombia, on June 24, 1935.

The film features several of Gardel and Le Pera's most iconic tangos, including the title song "El día que me quieras," "Volver," and "Sus ojos se cerraron." A young Astor Piazzolla, who would later revolutionize tango, appears in a brief cameo as a newspaper boy.
