Silly and amusing but mediocre comedy about a sympathetic rogue man well played by the great Alfredo Landa
ma-cortes27 August 2020
José (Alfredo Landa) is the roguish pharmaceutic of Medina de las Azores , he is married to an ex-dancer of musical revista (Africa Pratt), but their marriage is failed because of they have not children , as the doctor tells him he is sterile , resulting his wife as infertile . However , when he stands closed at a castle along with three beautiful girls (Mabel Karr , Josele Roman , Sandra Mozarowsky) things are very different . Thanks to José to be demostrated that the medical knowledges are wrong , at times ; as the three attractive females are pregnant . Later on , José is pursued by the parents (Rafael Alonso , Roberto Camardiel) of the three pregnant girls , then he seeks shelter at the village's brothel run by Madame Rosa (Guadalupe Muñoz Sampedro).

Typical comedy of the Seventies following the Spanish age , being embarrassingly though professionally directed by the prolific Luis Maria Delgado . In this very average Spanish comedy there are colored actors , comical sketches , amusement , humor , brief nudism and entertainment . The film belongs to ¨Landismo sub-genre¨, whose main representation was this great actor called Alfredo Landa , in which , ordinarily , a lascivious as well as botcher typical Spanish man dedicates his all-time to flirts or ¨Ligar¨ beautiful girls . The picture is well starred by Alfredo Landa in his ordinary style . These films he made in the sixties and Seventies were released in short budget and lackluster but including comedy and lots of fun . Those contained many nude girls , laughs , disconcerting situations , and slapstick , being mostly directed by Luis Maria Delgado and Mariano Ozores . Alfredo was one of the best and more popular Spanish actors and creator a cinematic subgenre with a long career formed by 110 films for forty years . In his first period through the 60s he starred secondary comical roles in notorious titles as El Verdugo by Berlanga , Ninette y un Señor de Murcia by Fernando Fernan Gomez , and No somos de piedra by Manuel Summers .After the successful No desearas el vecino del quinto by Ramon Fernandez , he performed over 30 comedies in Spanish style : "a la Española" , creating the "Landismo", including titles as Prestamela 15 dias , No desearas la mujer del vecino , Simon contamos contigo , Guapo heredero busca esposa , Dormir ligar todo es empezar , No firmes mas letras cielo , Vente a ligar al Oeste , Jenaro el de los 14 , Manolo La Nuit , Un curita cañon , El reprimido . His third period starts with El puente by J.A. Bardem , being directed by prestigious filmmakers as Jose Luis Garci in Las verdes praderas , El crack I, El crack II , Cancion de cuna ; Antonio Mercero in La proxima estacion ; Luis Garcia Berlanga in La vaquilla ; Basilio Martin Patino directed him in Los parasos perdidos , Jose Luis Borau in Tata mia and J.L Cuerda in El bosque animado . And standing out important characters in Los Santos Inocentes by Mario Camus , Don Quijote TV series and El Rey del rio by Manuel Gutierrez Aragon . Land is well accompanied by a fine supporting cast with plenty of familiar faces , such as : Juanito Navarro as the Mayor ,Rafael Alonso , Guadalupe Muñoz Sampedro , Robert Camardiel , Rafaela Aparicio , Eduardo Calvo ,Ángel Menéndez , Laly Soldevila , Carmen de Lirio , Beni Deus , among others . Including several ¨Destape¨ or nudist actresses , though here hardly ever nudism , such as : Africa Pratt , Mabel Karr , Sandra Mozarowsky .

The motion picture was regularly made by the prolific director Luis Maria Delgado . He was son of filmmaker Fernando Delgado who directed ¨Currito De La Cruz¨ . Luis Delgado's film debut was ¨La Estrella Del Rey¨, though previously directed with Henri Decoin ¨El Deseo Y el Amor¨, with Dulio Coletti ¨Los Italianos Estan Locos¨ and with Fernando Fernán Gómez co-directed ¨Manicomio¨. Luis directed various kiddies films such as ¨Secuestro En La Ciudad¨, ¨Aventuras En Las Islas Cies¨, ¨Hamelin¨ a musical starred Miguel Rios , ¨Chispita Y Sus Gorilas¨ and ¨Loca Por el Circo¨ with Ana Belén . Luis Delgado made multitude of comedies , most of them written by playwright Juán José Alonso Millán , and mostly vehicles for known Farceurs or comedians as ¨Tip and Coll¨ in ¨Garbanza Negra Que En Paz Descanse¨ , Alfredo Landa in ¨Onofre¨ , ¨Guapo Heredero Busca Esposa¨ , ¨Cuando Cuerno Suena¨, ¨Alcalde Y Politica¨ , ¨Profesor Eroticus¨ , ¨Obsesiones De Armando¨, Paco Martínez Soria in ¨La Tia De Carlos¨ and Manolo Escabar in ¨?Donde Estará Mi Niño¿¨ . And he directed ¨Diferente¨ at his best and considered to be a real ¨Cult Movie¨.
