- © 2018 Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. All rights reserved.The relations between the Mexican cinema and its narrators, although they were especially intense during the golden age, never ceased to be present. This is confirmed by the continued existence of adapted literary works, the relevance of certain writers who provided stories and were offered as a persuasive ingredient for the audience. In this article I wish to present, through the analysis of some cases, the transformation of the figure of the literary author as an element of attraction for the box office and the repercussions of such changes.
