FAMAS 1971: "LILET" (BEST PICTURE)

Trivia--- Did you know that Ronnie Poe was said to be against Susan Roces playing the title role in the movie Lilet? Susan felt it gave her a shot at a FAMAS award, but FPJ thought that the role would not be good to her public image. The movie eventually went to Celia Rodriguez who would win a FAMAS best actress for the part.
