=== Europe === [[File:María Félix in La mujer de todos city theater 1948.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Marquee listing Félix's film, ''La mujer de todos'', at Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen in [[Amsterdam]] at the City Theater in March 1948]] Félix debuted in the European cinema in Spain, with the film ''[[Mare Nostrum (1948 film)|Mare Nostrum]]'' (1948), directed by [[Rafael Gil]]. With Gil as director, she made another two films in 1950: ''Una mujer cualquiera'' and ''La noche del sábado''. In 1951, she filmed the French-Spanish production ''La Couronne Noire'' directed by [[Luis Saslavsky]] based on a story by [[Jean Cocteau]]. She debuted in Italy with the film ''Incantesimo Tragico'' (1951). In the same year, she filmed ''[[Messalina (1951 film)|Messalina]]'' (1951), directed by [[Carmine Gallone]]. During the shooting of the film, Félix suffered an emotional shock: her father died of a heart attack in [[Navojoa]]. In 1952, Félix traveled to Argentina, where she filmed ''[[La pasión desnuda]]'' of the Argentine filmmaker [[Luis César Amadori]]. In the same year, Félix returned to Mexico. She concluded her working relationship with Cesáreo González with the film ''[[Camelia (1954 film)|Camelia]]'' filmed in her native country. Her stay in Mexico was mainly based on her marriage to the actor and singer Jorge Negrete,<ref>{{Cite book|title=Una Mujer Llamada Maria Felix: Historia No Autorizada|last=Sandoval|first=Carmen Barajas|year=1998|isbn=9684096739|pages=[https://archive.org/details/unamujerllamadam00bara/page/174 174]|publisher=EDAMEX |url=https://archive.org/details/unamujerllamadam00bara/page/174}}</ref> her former film rival, with whom she filmed ''El rapto'', directed by Emilio Fernández, Negrete's last film.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Los Grandes: Maria Felix (Los Grandes Mexicanos)|last=Rutiaga|first=Luis|year=2005|isbn=9706669817|pages=174|publisher=Grupo Tomo }}</ref> After Negrete's death on 5 December 1953, Félix returned to Europe. In France she made the films ''La Belle Otero'' (1954), and ''Les Héros sont Fatigués'' (1955), alongside [[Yves Montand]]. However, the most important film of Félix in this period was ''[[French Cancan]]'' (1954) directed by [[Jean Renoir]] with French actor [[Jean Gabin]].
