La razón de la culpa (English: "The reason for the blame") is a 1943 Mexican film directed by Juan José Ortega who also directed Corazón salvaje. The film stars Blanca de Castejón,[2] Andrés Soler[3][2] and María Elena Marqués[2] as well as Pedro Infante as Roberto. This was one of Ricardo Montalbán's first films.[4]
Pedro Infante was still a novice when he was cast in the role of Roberto, a Spaniard gachupín,[5] but it was his northern accent (Sinaloa) that caused the director Juan José Ortega to make the decision to overdub Infante's voice[6] with that of Jesús Valero, who was from Spain. While it was Valero's speaking voice in the film, it was Infante's voice giving character to the songs he interprets.[7] When the film was broadcast on Netflix Spain however, all the voices were overdubbed so that the accents matched those of the viewers in Spain.[7] The role as Roberto was the only film that Infante appeared in that he portrayed a foreigner.[8]
