It is and agreeable and sentimental film with emotion , laughters , entertainment and amusement . Stars the always likeable Paco Martinez Soria as a retired man who is going to be father again , searching anxiously a good job , and finally his wife well played by Queta Claver saves the day . Based on a play titled "Juan El Jubilado" by prolific playwright Alfonso Paso and screenplay by Vicente Coello and Alfonso Paso himself . A nice vehicle for the great Paco Martinez Soria providing an authentic comical recital, as usual he plays a stubborn veteran of conservative morality and pedestrian ideas , and he , nowadays, being revered and adored by public and reviewers alike . Being professionally made by Pedro Lazaga who also directed him in "Estoy Hecho Un Chaval", "El Alegre Divorciado" , "Vaya Par De Gemelos" , "El Abuelo Tiene Un Plan" , "El Padre de La Criatura" , and "La Ciudad No Es Para Mi" , the latter one of the biggest boxoffice successes and rightly so . Along with Paco Martinez Soria appears a lot of familiar faces as Rafaela Aparicio , Alfredo Mayo, Emilio Laguna , Quique San Francisco , Mary Paz Pondal, special collaboration by TV presenter Kiko Ledgard who presented the successful program "1, 2, 3 Responda Otra Vez" and Antonio Ozores . In fact the highlight of the movie is the TV contest between Paco Martinez Soria and Antonio Ozores and presented by Kiko Ledgard , being the comical-sketches really hilarious .

The motion picture was well directed by underrated filmmaker Pedro Lazaga. This one was a prolific filmmaker who realized a lot of comedies in a long career such as : "Económicamente Débiles" , "Trio de Damas" , "Muchachas de Azul", and the best of all then resulted to be : "Los Tramposos". Though also made other genres as Peplum : "Siete Espartanos" , Wartime : "Posición Avanzada", "Torrepartida" , "La Patrulla" and Dramas : "Otro Árbol de Guernica" , "Rostro del Asesino" . Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable . Worthwhile seeing.
