If I'm to Be Killed Tomorrow (Spanish: Si me han de matar mañana) is a 1947 Mexican comedy film directed by Miguel Zacarías and starring Sofía Álvarez, Pedro Infante and René Cardona.[1] [2] It was shot at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vicente Petit. A Ranchera film, it was produced during the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. The title comes from a shortening of the expression "If I'm to be killed tomorrow, better to get it over with today".[3]
