Lola the Coalgirl (Spanish: Lola, la piconera) is a 1952 Spanish historical musical film directed by Luis Lucia and starring Juanita Reina, Virgilio Teixeira and Manuel Luna.

It was part of a series of patriotic historical films produced by CIFESA, Spain's biggest film company of the era. Other examples include Madness for Love (1948) and Agustina of Aragon.[1] The film's sets were designed by the German-born art director Sigfrido Burmann. Shooting began in June 1950, with filming at a Madrid studio and on location in Cadiz.

On release the film was a moderate hit but because of its large budget it had not returned all of its cost several years later.[2]

Synopsis

During the Siege of Cádiz a female Spanish innkeeper falls in love with an officer of Napoleon's invading army.
