Prior to 1971 legislation, the celebration of Columbus Day had a fixed date of October 12th, which was believed to be the day in 1492 that Columbus arrived in the Americas. This British-made Technicolor epic starred Fredric March in the title role. Gerard Depardieu and George Corraface later portrayed him in two biopics released in 1992, the 500th anniversary of a “discovery” that now causes as much controversy as celebration.

A Mexican biopic in the Spanish language preceded this in 1943 with Julio Villarreal in the title role. The epic opened in the USA in Los Angeles for the Columbus Day observance of 1944 at the California and Mason theatres. More details on the movie here
