This article examines two lesser-known colonial melodramas released during the Francoist period,  Obsesión  (1947) by Arturo Ruiz Castillo and  Piedra de toque  (1964) by Julio Buchs. Melodrama is not a genre prominently associated with colonial cinema, but it was the most popular style within the Spanish cinematographic production on Equatorial Guinea. In this article I explore why directors privileged this genre in representing the Spanish colony, and I examine how the white love triangle served disparate purposes in these films, from conveying subversive meanings to reinforcing normative ideologies.
