Mexican film that apparently has not won any awards and has not been the subject of non-trivial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. The only reference given in the article as it stands is to a dictionary of filmmakers in the third world (which is a directory); a Google search under the Spanish title turned up a number of other trivial mentions but no actual discussion. There is no equivalent article in the Spanish Wikipedia (El cobarde is the title of a song by a Chilean group but no other meaning is given).

Redirect Keep: Well it does seem to be minor. I've found a Spanish plot summary (and cited it) but little else. Suggest we merge and redirect to
René Cardona with a brief mention, in fact I'll put one there now.Chiswick Chap (

I added a couple of refs from
Erik's Google Books, and then a different search revealed the New York Times review from 1939 (God bless their archive), so I've added a section on Reception as well. As we now have multiple reliable sources, I've changed my !vote to Keep.

Weak Keep because Google Books shows
Spanish-language results with the keywords "El cobarde" "René Cardona" René Cardona. This film may not have English-language coverage, but the results seem to show that books about Mexican films have covered this. Can a Spanish-speaking editor review the results and provide their feedback?

Aunque me parece que la mayoría de los resultados son sólo ejemplos de menciones triviales en varios directorios del cine mexicano, si fue revisado en el New York Times, entonces ...

(But
Chiswick Chap, could you provide a link to the New York Times article, even if it is behind a paywall? I can't track it from the change you made to the article— thanks!).
