For more than a century, directors from both sides of the border have chosen Mexico as the location to create their cinematic art, leaving an indelible imprint on the imaginations of moviegoers and filmmakers worldwide. Now, for the first time, Made in Mexico: Hollywood South of the Border presents a comprehensive examination of more than one hundred Hollywood theatrical feature films made in Mexico between 1914 and the present day.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, Made in Mexico examines how Hollywood films depicted Mexico and how Mexico represented itself in relation to the films shot on location. It pulls back the curtain on how Hollywood filmmakers influenced Mexican films and Mexican filmmakers influenced Hollywood.

Listed chronologically and featuring cast, credits, synopsis, and contemporary reviews along with a production history for each entry, this book highlights the concept of “crossing borders ” in which artists from both nations collaborated with one another. Made in Mexico also provides a brief historical perspective on the aesthetics, economics, and politics of the film industries in each country, giving readers a glimpse of the external forces at play in the production of these films.

With motion pictures permeating the cultural and historical landscape of both Mexico and the United States, this compulsively readable compendium demonstrates the far-reaching influences of the featured films on the popular culture of both nations.

Luis I. Reyes (El Montes, California) is nationally renowned as a scholar, author, archivist, and lecturer who specializes in the film history of ethnic minorities in the Hollywood film industry. He is the author or co-author of several books on film, including Made in Paradise: Hollywood's Films of Hawaii and the South Seas, Pearl Harbor in the Movies, and most recently, The Hawaii Movie and Television Book (all co-authored with Ed Rampell); he is also the co-editor (with Peter Rubie) of Hispanics in Hollywood.
