They Met in Guayaquil (Spanish:Se conocieron en Guayaquil) is a 1949 Ecuadorian drama film directed by Paco Villar. The film was the first sound film made in Ecuador, which had a very small film industry at the time.[1] The film was a commercial success on its release.[2] The title refers to Guayaquil, the country's largest city. The production company followed it up with another sound film Dawn in Pichincha in 1950.
