Background
Suevia Films was a Spanish film production and distribution company founded in 1940 by Cesáreo González. During the 1940s-1960s, they were one of Spain's biggest studios responsible for more than 130 films, averaging five per year. The studio has ceased film production six years after Cesáreo González's death, before continuing as a film distributor until they we're finally closed down in 1983.
