Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Anacleto Gets Divorced” as 1950 film by Joselito Rodríguez. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Anacleto, Gets and Divorced.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1950, 1916, 2001, 2024—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1950-01-01, 1950-09-07—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Anacleto, Gets and Divorced providing the first useful test.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
