Release and reception
The film premiered in July 1939.[2] Roland, in the newspaper Crítica, opined: "Its overly intellectual conception, its overly cerebral dialogues, its overly profound problems, and its overly fervent humanity elevate 'Atorrante' above the average of Argentine productions, lending it a certain hierarchy of intention that achieves the true and necessary expression demanded by cinema." For his part, Calki wrote in El Mundo: "Its human vibrancy is diluted in the dialogue, abundant in philosophy and polemics. We prefer it to the inconsistent dialogue of so many local films, but it detracts from the film's cinematic vigor."[3]
