- Edward Arnold, The White Sister, 1932. Carrillo was first choice for Father Saracinesca in the romantic Helen Hayes-Clark Gable tear-jerker according to a Hollywood Reporter news item.

(Some 25 years later, in the similar (but true) Inn of the Sixth Happiness, Ingrid Bergman’s missionary became involved (untrue) with Chinese Army officer Curd Jürgens – who was German!).
