Fernando Cortés' first lead role in a film was in "Doña Francisquita," a Spanish musical comedy released in 1934. The film, directed by Hans Behrendt and Ignacio F. Iquino, is based on the 1923 operetta of the same name by Amadeo Vives. Cortés plays the role of Fernando, a young man who falls in love with Francisquita, a beautiful woman from a wealthy family.
