This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast.
"La Noche de los Mayas" (aka "Dark Night of the Mayas" in the USA), produced by FAMA (Films de Artistas Mexicanos Asociados) won the 1939 Comite Nacional de la Industria Cinematografica Mexicana (National Committe of the Mexican Motion Picture Industry) Best Picture Award, in the first serious judging of Mexico domestic pictures since the Mexican film industry was born in 1931. The film also won Best Actress by Isabel Corona and Best Photography by Gabriel Figueroa Mateos.
