Sucedió en La Habana ("It Happened in Havana") is a 1938 Cuban film directed by Ramon Peon. It stars Luana Alcañiz (as Luana de Alcañiz), Juan Torena, Rita Montaner and Carlos Orellana. It was one of the most successful and ambitious Cuban films during the 1930s. The film is a combination of music, romance and comedy, in which a Cuban young woman falls in love with an engineer working in her father's sugar mill, with many funny scenes provided by comedians Garrido and Piñero, and musical interludes featuring artists as the Havana Casino Orchestra, the Milanés Sisters, Ignacio Piñeiro's Septet, Guyún, and singers María de los Ángeles Santana and Margot Alvariño.
