History
Pampa Film was founded in January 1937 by Warner Bros. in partnership with the local entrepreneur Olegario Ferrando.
The company used the Lumiton facilities at first, and Lumiton was to distribute its films.
Later the link with Lumiton was severed.[1]
Luis Saslavsky directed Sueño de Una Vide Nueva for Pampa Film, released in Argentina as La fuga by Warner Bros. on 28 July 1937 with music by César Gola.
It was one of the hits of the year.[1]Jorge Luis Borges praised the romantic comedy, saying it did not "suffer from fruitless images" but flowed "the way American films do."[2]
In La fugaAmelia Bence supported Tita Merello and Santiago Arrieta.
Her performance earned Bence a contract at Pampa Film and three other film appearances.[3]
