The Three Garcias (Spanish: Los tres García) is a 1947 Mexican comedy film by Ismael Rodríguez and starring Pedro Infante, Sara García, Abel Salazar and Marga López.[1] [2] It was shot at the Tepeyac Studios in Mexico City. The film's sets were designed by the art director Carlos Toussaint. A sequel The Garcias Return was released a few months later the same year.

For the film's exterior shots, the Delegation or City of Cuajimalpa (within modern Mexico City), was used, specially Parroquia San Pedro Apostol, which still provides religious services. Pedro Infante fell in love with the town, the locals and countryside, to the point of building a large mansion just outside Cuajimalpa. He lived there until his death in 1957. The house stood there until the 1990s; it was later demolished and Husky Injection Molding Systems Mexico was constructed on the same site. The northwest exterior wall that surrounded Pedro's property still stands to this day.
