The Minister's Daughter (Spanish: La hija del ministro) is a 1943 Argentine comedy film directed by Francisco Múgica and starring Enrique Serrano, Silvana Roth and Juan Carlos Thorry.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Ricardo J. Conord. It reflects Peronist ideology even though it premiered several months before the June Revolution.[2]

In order to assist her father she poses as one of his employees and goes to Orlandi for help, hoping to gain information that will help her father.
