The Pure Truth (Spanish: La pura verdad) is a 1931 American comedy film directed by Florián Rey and Manuel Romero and starring José Isbert, Enriqueta Serrano and Manuel Russell.[1]

It was made at the Joinville Studios in Paris by Paramount Pictures, as the Spanish-language version of the studio's 1929 film Nothing But the Truth. Such Multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread.

The film's sets were designed by Henri Ménessier and René Renoux.[citation needed]
