This film is the cinematographic adaptation of one of Alberto Olmedo's best characters: "El manosanta". Those of us who grew up watching "Don't Touch the Button" know that this character is one of the most beloved and deserved a movie. We then have the adventures of a tireless job seeker who goes through various problems to the point of requiring the help of a santero who is obviously a swindler. The character of Vicente La Russa is notable and serves as an inspiration for Olmedo, who makes his entrance into the esoteric world as a deceiver with an unmarriageable sexual appetite. The cast is perfect: Javier Portales, always masterful, the Uruguayan César Bertrand as his friend, Facha Martel as his love rival, the enormous Horacio O'Connor who offers a unique and hilarious character trying to seduce a transvestite Olmedo. The vedettes are not left behind: the beautiful Silvia Pérez, Susana Romero, Adriana Brodsky, Beatriz Salomón and Divina Gloria along with others who are not left behind in charm. It is a film that represents the best of Argentine cinema of the eighties with a careful direction by Hugo Sofovitch. Whoever sees the movie knows exactly what he is going to find and will be totally satisfied. Perfect movie.
