Notes
El secreto del doctor is the Spanish-language version of the 1929 Paramount film The Doctor's Secret, which was directed by William C. de Mille and starred Ruth Chatterton and H. B. Warner. The original film was shot in the U.S., but in 1930, Paramount made seven foreign-language versions at their Joinville studio near Paris, France. Of the seven versions, only the Spanish, Italian (Il segreto del dottore), French (Le secret du docteur), and Hungarian Az arvos titka) versions appear to have been released in the U.S., according to NYSA records. The working title of the Spanish-language version was Media hora. Some sources indicate that writer Josep Carner Ribalta wrote a Spanish version for production in Hollywood, but it has not been determined if any of that screenplay was used in the version produced in France. A Swedish version, Doktorns Hemlighet, was directed by John W. Brunius and starred Ivan Hedqvist and Pauline Brunius. A Czech version, Tajemstvi lékarovo, was directed by Julius Lébl and starred Anna Sedlácková and Václav Vydra, while a Polish adaptation, Tajemnica lekarza, was directed by Ryszard Ordynski and starred Maria Gorczynska and Pawel Owerllo.
