Paradise (Spanish: El paraíso) is a 1953 Argentine drama film directed by Karl Ritter and starring Paola Loew, Florindo Ferrario and Eloy Álvarez. Ritter had been a leading director of propaganda films in Nazi Germany and left for Argentina after the war. This was his only film made in that country and proved a flop.[1] He then briefly returned to West Germany to make a final two films, before retiring to Argentina[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Saulo Benavente.
