MORE ON PRE-WAR TAGALOG MOVIES: VIRGINIA SALCEDO, ANTONINA HERNANDEZ, REYNALDO DANTE, GERARDO DE LEON AND 3-YEAR OLD NITA MIL IN "LANGIT SA KARIMLAN" (1939)

A most beautiful and most touching story woven around the lives of three people who loved each other gloriously — a man behind iron bars, a blind beggar woman who left a home of wealth; and a little girl who brought them back together! Teodorico Santos' most loved novel among our Tagalog intelligentia becomes Mar. I. Esmeralda's greatest achievement! 

Drama that will bring a lump to your throat —drama with all the exquisite restraint and finish which only real screen thoroughbreds possess — this Mar. I. Esmeralda gives you in what may be the Golden Picture of 1939!

(The Tribune, September 24, 1939)

The movie was released and shown at Grand Theater, October 1, 1939.
