19 March 2022
Fernando Esteso recital with a disconcerting intrigue, guffaws, entertainment and amusement. It deals with Carlos (Fernando Esteso) is going to marry his chief's (Alfonso de Real) daughter. So that Carlos to go to the forced wedding celebration he's controlled by a private eye (Antonio Ozores). On the way, when their car is broken, a German spy (Carole James) appears and she sticks Carlos a valuable microfiim containing top secret information, as he becomes involved into a twisted international conspiracy. Along the way, various international agencies compete to get the essential microfilm. To flee his enemies Carlos to use thousands of tricks and fakes.

Typical Fernando Esteso vehicle with silly incidents, laughs, non-sense messes, pursuits, nudism, adding an intriguing plot about an international conspiracy concerning the Germany unification . Nevertheless, this ! Que tia la CIA! 1985 displays less nudism than other Fernando Esteso or Andres Pajares movies. This is a real Fernando Esteso show in which he finds himself in a plot of European espionage between East and West Germany, while US and Russia are opposed to unification. In fact, Fernando Esteso's colleague, Andres Pajares, also played a similar Eurospy film about espionage titled "La Hoz y el Martinez" 1985 by Alvaro Saenz de Heredia. In the Seventies and Eighties Fernando Esteso formed with Andres Pajares a successful comical couple, both of whom played several hit movies as Los Bingueros, Los Liantes, Los Energeticos, La Lola nos lleva al Huerto, Todos al suelo, Agitese antes de usarla, Padre no mas que dos. However, eventually playing separately some movies, as Esteso starred El erotico enmascarado, Pepito Piscinas, El Hijo del cura, El cura ya tiene hijo, Caray con el divorcio, El Soplagaitas, Onofre, Al Este del Oeste, 4 mujeres y un lio, and most of them directed by Mariano Ozores. Here Fernando Esteso is well accompanied by a large number of familiar secondaries, habitual in these kinds of movies, such as :Juanito Navarro, Gerard Tichy, Emiliano Redondo, Luis Barbero, Emilio Fornet, of course, Antonio Ozores, and special appearance by Rafaela Aparicio. In addition, ordinary "Destape" actresses, this time provided by two beautiful girls as Carole James and Brita Jensen.

The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by prolific wriyer/filmmaker Mariano Ozores, getting success enough at the boxoffice. Rating 5.5/10, average but acceptable and passable. The pic will appeal to Fernando Esteso fans and Mariano Ozores followers.
