"Juarez "was Warner Brothers' cinematic attempt to answer the
major international question of the 1930s: would democracy or
dictatorship prevail? Eager to further the foreign policy
objectives of its friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt and equally
willing to add to its prestigious and profitable biography series,
the stuido set a record high budget and assembled special film
stock, extensive scholarly research, a loose time schedule, a
renowned director, and a stellar cast that included Paul Muni,
Brian Aherne, and Bette Davis. The film was meant to be an
ideologically clear-cut statement against fascism. The ways in
which this artistic propaganda backfired make "Juarez" a
significant historical document for students of film, Latin
American history, and U.S. foreign relations.
