A comienzos de los 50 se repitió lo sucedido diez años atrás; el cine mexicano tuvo un acceso de religiosidad aguda. Es posible que se quisiera contentar con él a la poderosa Liga de la Decencia, que algo molesta debía estar con tanto desahogo arrabalero. El melodrama ¡...Y murió por nosotros! (1951, Joselito Rodríguez) ubicó en una mina norteña su paráfrasis moderna de la Pasión, con el joven Felipe de Alba [Aguascalientes] como un personaje no por casualidad llamado Salvador;
[In the early 1950s, what had happened ten years earlier repeated itself: Mexican cinema had an acute bout of religiosity. It is possible that the aim was to appease the powerful League of Decency, which must have been somewhat troubled by so much lowbrow indulgence. The melodrama ¡...And He Died for Us! (1951, Joselito Rodríguez) set a modern retelling of the Passion in a northern mine, with the young Felipe de Alba [Aguascalientes] playing a character named — not by coincidence — Salvador]
