Delightful nonsense
davidtraversa-9694712 October 2017
I wasn't going to write a review after watching this picture on You Tube, being already a seventy years old film, but seeing not one single review on IMDb, I felt someone should say something about it. After all, making a film implies a great deal of effort from everyone involved and that alone deserves some recognition.

Also, Mirtha Legrand, being alive and well today (92 years young), deserves a good deal of consideration for such a long and fruitful career.

About the film:

It was such a surprising breath of freshness and delightful nonsense to watch this very light comedy, entertaining in every single scene, utterly absurd and yet so catching with a completely unreal plot, played masterfully by a bunch of seasoned actors and actresses (all of them dead by now, save the female protagonist), that it leaves one with an inner sense of joy and lightness.

Seventy years is too long of a period in social mores, we've seen so many changes in that respect, that one has to set his/her mind to 1947 to get into this film. If you are able to do that, you'll have a delightful time watching this movie. If you are not..., forget completely that you saw my review and look around for newer stuff.
