Luis Korda Díaz acted primarily as photographer and travel companion of Fidel Castro, with whom he had a close relationship, and also Ernesto Guevara, whom he saw as rather arrogant – a personal view he shared with many other photographers. Luis Korda’s most famous image is also the most important photo of the Cuban revolution, showing the revolutionaries entering Havana on 8 January 1959 with Fidel Castro and Camilo Cienfuegos at the head of the procession. The fear that Studio Korda, a privately held company, could fall victim to nationalisation, drove Alberto Diaz and Luis Peirce to bequeath it to the Oficina
Alexander Korda Vienna to make "Everybody's Woman" (1924). While there, he began work on his next film, the historical "Tragedy in the House of Habsburg" (1924), which portrayed the Mayerling Incident. It earned back around half of its production cost. He followed this with "Dancing Mad" (1925), another melodrama. Korda had frequent problems with money, and often had to receive support from friends and business associates. Korda had cast his wife Maria Corda as the female lead in all his German-language films and to a large degree, his productions depended on her star power. Korda cast her again in "A Modern Dubarry"
